This coming Friday, May 6, 2016 at 9:00 am, in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, there will be, G-d willing,  a premiere of a very special performance at Oz veGaon – entitled Two Sisters.

Chaya Baranes and Rivka Vitrial are producing a performance about stories of life from Slovakia to the Land of Israel. It is about a Jewish family that hid in a bunker in the forest, partisans and a priest who hid Torah scrolls and Jewish property in the church courtyard…

About a soldier-grandfather who kept a diary that survived, and about two sisters, Rachel and Hanah, who managed to keep their secret in Auschwitz.

It is about a first home in the Land of Israel – in the sand, about the first freezer – a block of ice, and about the crazy dove from the Amidar neighborhood…

Stories about secrets, scrapes and laughter, accompanied by authentic film clips.

Researched and written by: Chaya Baranes, Rivka Vitrial

Director: Rivka Vitrial

Artistic consultant: Hadar Galron

 

Chaya and Rivka are sisters, daughters of Holocaust victims. Their mother is a Holocaust survivor, an authoress who has put into writing the horrors of the Holocaust with the aid of her daughters and now, the performance.

The second generation struggles more than the first generation to commemorate and preserve the memory of the Holocaust.

We must all act to promote this Jewish national project – Never again!

 

An extremely moving morning that no one should miss. Call your family and friends  and invite them too!

The performance is in Hebrew with simultaneous translation to English.
