Commissioned by and created in collaboration with Centropa, the Jewish historical institute dedicated to preserving 20th century Jewish family stories from Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

Adapted from interviews that Centropa conducted, the play will preserve the memory of the world that was destroyed–not just its destruction.
