Human...

This review of the Alma Rose biography is very well written. The final paragraph really hit me as it almost perfectly summarizes what a lot of you have been trying to figure out especially in our recreating the SS characters in our show. We've been shocked at how real they are, how human they are. Here is the final paragraph from the review. I think it speaks for itself. It is a look into the actual event that we will be recreating at rehearsal on Tuesday evening.

"The author does not raise this question, but the reader may feel it to be inescapable: Is it really so far from Vienna to Auschwitz? from the Josef Mengele directing endless lines of Jews "to the gas" to the Josef Mengele standing in respect before a memorial of a Jew? Perhaps the distance between them is as paper-thin as human conventions. Perhaps there is no tough moral universe from which we may stray and to which we may return, existing eternally independent from human frivolity. Perhaps there is just us."
