Survivors: A New Play
Brighton
Campus
Wednesday, April 24, 2019 • 12pm
Theatre,
Robin and Tim Wentworth Arts Building (Bldg 4)
You are invited to attend a performance of a new play written by
Wendy Kout and inspired by the words and lives of Rochester Holocaust
survivors. Rochester's CenterStage Theatre and the Louis S. Wolk Jewish
Community Center of Greater Rochester commissioned this new play to put a human
face on this important time in history. A cautionary tale on the risks of
normalized hate, this play ensures that the voices of Rochester survivors will
never be silenced. Survivors weaves the shocking and inspirational
stories of Eva Abrams, Erich Arndt, Arthur Herz, Ellen Lewinsky, Rosemarie
Molser, Henry Silberstern, Helen Przysuskier, Evie Schuerman, Kurt Weinbach and
Carl Voldman. A talk back with the cast will take place after
the performance for all who are interested.
