[UC] Bulack Boys Part of Unique Performance Honoring Memory of Young Holocaust Victims

[Patty Bulack]

Hello All,
I wanted to let you all know that there is an especially moving tribute to
young victims of the Holocaust being presented this week, and it was
wonderfully described in today's Inquirer.  It's an opera called
"Brundibar".  Below is the link to the article.

There you will also find the schedule of performances at the International
House this coming week.   My sons David and Ian have had the priviledge of
participating, working with Karen Saillant, whose amazing talent as director
of the International Opera Theater has been a life-changing force for them
and for me.  This re-enactment of an opera that was produced 55 times by
children in the concentration camp of Theresenstadt brings home poignantly
the bittersweet nature of experiences that made up life for them all.  Here
is another link showing interviews with some of the survivors who were part
of the original cast, telling how every time they performed the opera they
were making a statement about overcoming Hitler, because the villain looked
like him:

 I hope that you will come and see the show, not only because David and Ian
are in it, but also because it will be an unforgettable experience, both
educational and emotional.

Thanks,
Patty Bulack
