Yizkor

Yizkor follows the experiences of two teenagers Ariella and Moshe between May 1939 and May 1944. The play has been written using witness and survivor testimonies of teenagers during the Holocaust, therefore every word that is heard is authentic and accurate. Throughout the play the voices of Ibi and Waldemar Ginsburg, two Holocaust survivors who worked with the New Vic to develop the play are heard.

The play is set in a Shtetl in Eastern Europe and allows audiences to gain and important insight into a way of life, a culture and religion that was wiped out as a result of the Holocaust. It helps us to understand the human story behind the unfathomable facts and figures, and the way the ordinary people’s lives are effected by discrimination and racial hatred.

“This stunning production set in an age of persecution and intolerance has a message of survival and courage which will resonate with young and old alike” John Fisher Jewish Telegraph

The events of the holocaust are still very present and seriously relevant within our current climate, and we will have a short post show discussion.
