About This Classical Musical Drama
Three young adults face the trials and horrors of life in Warsaw, Poland, between 1939 and 1943. Rachael and her brother, Aaron, have to decide whether to stay with the family or run for freedom.
Rachael and her boyfriend, Joshua, discover both the passion and the security of romantic love just as the entire vibrant, rich, and learned Jewish community of Warsaw—more than 350,000 people representing thirty percent of the population of the city—were dehumanized and then squeezed mercilessly into a walled-off ghetto, 2.4 percent of the city. The choices they make, the deep love they experience and declare, and the futures that they dream of are interwoven with the potent and horrifying terror of the Nazi movement and the heroics of their resistance to it.
