HOLOCAUST PLAY: TODAY! MCHS is proud to announce the cast for its 2014 fall play production of Arlene Hutton’s Letters to Sala. The story centers on Sala Garncarz, who was sixteen in 1940, the daughter of a rabbi and teacher and the youngest of eleven children in a poor family living in Sosnowiec, Poland, close to the German border. When her older sister Raizel was ordered to report to a Nazi forced labor camp, Sala volunteered to take her place. Neither she nor her family suspected that six weeks of required labor would stretch to almost five years of slavery. . . Letters to Sala tells the story of one young womans experiences in the most inhumane and unimaginable of situations. In addition to the play performance, patrons will have unique opportunities associated with Sala’s story. Sala’s actual letters from the labor camps will be on loan to MCHS from the New York Public Library. The exhibition presents approximately 100 postcards, letters, photographs, documents, and other artifacts drawn primarily from the Sala Garncarz Collection of the New York Public Librarys Dorot Jewish Division. At the Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon performances, patrons will be able to listen to a preshow discussion from a Holocaust survivor, as well as a talk back and question answer period after the performances. The Holocaust speaker will be joining us from the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie, Illinois. Performance dates for “Letters to Sala” are October 23rd at 7:00 P.M., October 25th at 7:00 P.M., and October 26th at 2:00 P.M. All seats are $5.00.
