And Then They
Came for Me is a unique theatrical experience: a multimedia
play that combines videotaped interviews with Holocaust survivors Ed Silverberg
and Eva Schloss with live actors recreating scenes from their lives during
World War II. Ed was Anne Frank's first boyfriend, and she wrote about
him in the beginning of her now-famous diary. Eva Schloss was the same
age as Anne Frank and lived in the same apartment building in Amsterdam.
Her family went into hiding the same day as the Frank family. Part oral
history, part dramatic action, part direct address, part remembrance,
the ensemble-driven And Then They Came for Me
breaks new ground and has been acclaimed by audiences and critics in world-wide
productions.
"This production is like a historic newsreel brought
to life on the stage. And it works." (Charles Epstein, WICR Radio,
Indianapolis)
"The stark reality struck me as no production of
The Diary of Anne Frank ever has. It was stunning and brought tears to
my eyes and those of others around me." —Judith Klein, The
Jewish Journal, Boston.
"It'll stay with you for the rest of your life."
—The Indianapolis Star
"Take heed…lest you forget the things which
your eyes have seen, and…teach them to your children and to your
children's children." —Deuteronomy 4:9
