Play Summary
This moving tale is based on the authentic account of Gerda Nothmann Luner’s Holocaust survival. As a young girl, all of Gerda’s hopes and dreams are forever shattered when Nazis invade her homeland. Alone, Gerda journeys to safety by way of a foster family in Holland, experiencing arrest, deportation, and a remarkable series of circumstances that lead to her emigration to America. A post-performance discussion on Friday will feature Gerda's husband, Charles Luner. Don’t miss this extraordinary narrative of hope and courage.
