Children of the Holocaust

After World War II, over 200 children’s diaries like Anne Frank’s were found.  What happened to these children?  Who might they have been if they had survived?  This play of remembrance speaks poignantly of the hopes and dreams of Anne, David, Rachael and Michael, victims of the Holocaust.  It portrays their courage and their faith, and what they might have seen had they lived.

In light of the current rise in anti-semitism, the lessons of the Holocaust cannot be forgotten.

Can You Hear Them Crying?

Poetry, dance, symbolic scenery, and costumes all work together to make this an unforgettable tribute to the thousands of children who did not survive their imprisonment at the Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia concentration camp.  In English translation, the narrative features actual stories and poems written by the lost children themselves.  Their own words poignantly describe scenes of their daily life in the ghetto — their moments of hope and despair.
