The Yvonne Arnaud Youth Theatre: Act One presents: Welcome To Terezin

In October 1941, the Czech town of Terezin was turned into a ghetto for Jews and renamed Theresienstadt by the occupying Nazi forces. Welcome to Terezin. But what is Terezin? Is it really the Paradise Ghetto the Nazis claim it to be? A sanctuary where Jewish actors and singers and artists are detained for their own protection during the Second World War? Or is it another concentration camp? Come and see for yourself, as you join the Danish Red Cross inspector on a tour of this little fortress 30 miles north of Prague and enjoy the Cabaret Gala, featuring stars like Johnny & Jones from Holland, movie star Kurt Gerron who is making a documentary film about the ghetto and the Angel of Terezin herself… This powerful new play with a strong cabaret-style – specially commissioned for Act One – features some of the actual songs that were created and performed in Terezin. Act One has developed a reputation for new and innovative work over many years and has championed new writing as well as a fresh approach to classical texts. Previous successes have included A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Under Milk Wood, Good Times, Canterbury Tales, His Dark Materials, and last year’s new play The Ghosts of Tyneham.

Berlin Students Present Westerbork Story

In January I received this message From two students in Berlin, Sonja Eichstädt and Sophia Galandi:
"We are students from Berlin and we work on a school presentation dealing with the Jewish Culture Association. Thereby we are also interested in the cabaret stars who were performing in the Westerbork camp. On your Internet page we found some short audio sequences of interviews with survivors. We would like to ask if the complete interviews are available and if you might send them to us. That would be a great enrichment for our project."
Thus began an extended correspondence between us.
I sent them old cassettes from interviews I made in 1997 and 1998 (see westerborkserenade.com, History) and referred them to different sources.
Today I just got word that the presentation was a success:
"We are relieved that our presentation is over and we hope that we will get a(very) good mark :-)The marks will be released in May.
In the examination talk we told our teachers about your work and that we contacted you and they were very enthusiastic about that!!
There is a picture of us (I am left), a poster of the Bunter Abend Show (we colored it in and printed it out to show it)"

It is very heartening to know that interest and study about Westerbork and the Shoah continue to be important for upcoming generations.
Good luck with your studies ladies!
