Event Details
This unique performance is the culmination of eight months of heartfelt
collaboration between four Holocaust survivors and high school students. The
diverse group of high school students will portray stories of the Holocaust
survivors who survived Auschwitz concentration camp, ghetto life in Hungary,
persecution in the Netherlands, and antisemitism in Morocco. Through the lens
of the survivors’ childhood stories, group members explore issues of war, loss,
trauma, and resilience while forming deep and meaningful relationships that
dissolve the barriers between generations. On stage, students will re-enact
wartime childhood experiences while survivors will narrate their stories. Join us
on April 28th at 7pm to celebrate the 14th season of Witness Theater!

About Witness Theater
Witness Theater was conceived by Irit and Ezra Dagan and developed by JDC-Eshel in Israel. It was brought to New York in 2012 by Selfhelp Community Services, Inc. This year’s Witness Theater Program is a collaboration of Selfhelp, UJA-Federation of New York, and Yeshivah of Flatbush Joel Braverman High School. The program also receives generous support from Carol and Carl Hess, the Miriam and Arthur Diamond Charitable Trust, The Kupferberg Foundation, and the office of the Manhattan Borough President.
