Survivors - A New Play About the Holocaust

04/24/2025

Today is Yom HaShoah - the day designated each year to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust.
We honor it today by performing for hundreds of students at Hilton high school with our play “Survivors”, as we remember the 6 million Jews and the millions of other marginalized people who perished in the Holocaust, all those who suffered at the hands of the N***s as well as those who resisted their N**i tormentors, either through passive or active resistance. We also honor the many upstanders during this period - all those men and women who showed great courage and risked themselves and their families by helping Jewish people escape their N**i tormentors.
