SAR's performance of "Witness Theater" is an innovative and emotional intergenerational "journey" for Holocaust survivors and students. Working together, the two generations elicit and reveal the moving stories of survival and explore the issues of war, loss, and trauma.
Six survivors are the narrators, and our SAR students work with them to draw out their stories and "become" these heroes on stage, re-enacting their wartime experiences.
This emotional re-creation of real life experiences aims to instill the memory of the Shoah in the hearts and minds of the next generation.
