Terezin: Children of the Holocaust


 The Diversity Forum is excited to make possible performances of Terezin: Children of the Holocaust.  The public performance will be held Thursday, April 4th, at 7:00pm in the York High School auditorium.  The play features child and teenage actors speaking for those whose voices were silenced at Terezin - an infamous concentration camp in Czechoslovakia where tens of thousands of children were held for months or years before being sent to their deaths on rail transports to Auschwitz.  It portrays the horrors perpetrated by Nazi Germany; but it also speaks to more universal problems such as bullying, harassment, hatred and prejudice that are problems that school-aged children deal with every day.  The play is suitable for ages 13 and older. There is no charge for admission, and all are welcome.
