"My hope in writing this paper was to provide the reader with a sense of the significance of this particular story being introduced to Yiddish theater at this juncture. This play conveys that much-needed richness. A fictional, once controversial story of the Warsaw Ghetto has once again been put into play as a collective response to Jewish life, but this time by bringing it into an entirely new medium. Just telling this story in Yiddish conveys the message that it is a story that Yiddish theater tells best."-Elissa Sampson MORE
