Published by Samuel French Inc
3 Male 6 Female
Drawing on material from Yaffa Eliach's landmark book, these moving stories relate the experiences of individuals, many of them young people, during the Shoah
The play examines some of the mechanisms of the Final Solution and tells of the hatred and prejudice that fuelled this unthinkable event
Magda and Joseph
Based on certain episodes in the lives of Mária Magdaléna Bednarová and Ján Flimel, this is the true story of a woman who risked her life to save the life of one Jewish man
It is a story of the personal courage of an ordinary person, and shows how everyone had the choice to help or turn away
Adapted From Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust
The scope of the destruction of The Holocaust is almost unimaginable; the numbers of people murdered staggering
These two plays deftly dramatize stories of exceptional individuals who survived the Holocaust and who risked their lives to save others
