Partisan

Author(s): Barbara Wind
The play, written with the author's permission, is based on the memoir <em>To Live and Fight Another Day</em> by Bracha Weisbarth about her family's life in the Belarus forest. Warned that the ghetto would be liquidated the following morning, the mother found herself in a state of disbelief and virtual paralysis. Even if she and her three children could manage to escape unscathed, where would they go? All the able men in the ghetto were slave laborers in a logging camp. She was a city girl, unfamiliar with the woods outside their town. Her adolescent son made an impetuous decision that saved their lives.
Format:Full-length play, two acts
