Staging Holocaust Resistance
Details
Plunka argues that drama is the ideal art form to revitalize the collective memory of Holocaust resistance. This comparative drama study examines a variety of international plays - some quite well-known, others more obscure - that focus on collective or individual defiance of the Nazis.
'Plunka believes that keeping alive acts of resistance to the Holocaust is necessary to "make the world a better place." He believes also that drama is the most effective kind of testimony ... The book [is] readily accessible to nonspecialists. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers.' - CHOICE
