Yom Hashoah Program: "Survivors"
a play created by Alan Breindel and adapted by Bernie Kukoff and Lucile Lichtblau
Saturday, April 15 at 7:30pm
Followed by a talkback with Alan Breindel
at St. James Church, 117 Hudson Ave., Chatham
In conjunction with St. James Church, we are presenting a special Yom Hashoah program - a staged reading of "Survivors," a first hand account of four Holocaust survivors.
A little more than a decade ago, after hearing his Short Hills, NJ neighbor's powerful story of survival, the play's creator, Alan Breindel, decided he wanted to meet more survivors and find a way to amplify their stories. He ended up interviewing several more people from his community, all of whom, like his neighbor, managed to evade the concentrations camps, telling harrowing tales of how they survived. Briendel combined their stories into a moving play that has been adapted into a staged reading by Bernie Kukoff and Lucile Lichtblau.
