About this event
On the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, join the Baltimore community to remember, with this powerful solo biodrama which tells the true story of a survivor. An 11 year-old boy when German soldiers overran Poland in 1939, Anschel was a Polish Jew who was clever beyond his years. Time after time, year after year, when captured by Nazi soldiers and armed SS guards, he repeatedly escaped. At the end of the war, he was a teenager and the only one in his family to survive the Holocaust. This is his story, adapted from a memoir of the same name, written by Renate Frydman, who will be in attendance for a Q&A following the performance. Presented in partnership with the Baltimore Jewish Council.
