Features

Castaways Theatre: “SHOAH is the stage adaptation of the award-winning 1985 film documentary by French director Claude Lanzmann. The original 9-hour film has been condensed for the stage and includes interviews with Holocaust survivors, former members of Nazi organizations, and residents of communities near the death camps. The goal of SHOAH is unique and single-minded: to describe in detail the inhumanity of the “Final Solution” during the World War II years of 1942-1944.”

“The stage adaptation of SHOAH provides an opportunity to educate, understand, and live it in our hearts and minds. As Simone de Beauvoir stated: “It becomes our experience.”


Schools
