Will the relentless oppression of the starving workers in a
ghetto factory destroy their faith in God? Their love of life?
Their ability to resist? If a cat is more valuable than a human
being, have hope and goodness been eliminated from the world? A
moving and terrifying melodrama.

Through the career of Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, head of the
Lodz, Poland Judenrat, we come to understand the horror of
“choiceless choice,” of how giving up some to save others was
the worst nightmare for those who sought the responsibilities
of ghetto leadership. An epic play with music and song.

The children of murder victims assemble to enact ritually the
destruction of their fathers in the presence of two survivors.
As the sons become their fathers, the most profound ethical
questions of the Holocaust are raised concerning the limits of
humanity in a world of absolute evil. A daring
tragicomedy.

In the austere, degraded setting of a concentration camp,
twenty-two French women attempt to keep their sanity and hope
as, one by one, they fall victim to the Nazi terror. Will
anyone believe the story of the survivors? A poetic drama of
resistance and witness.
