Gene A. Plunka Libri

Focusing on Holocaust drama, this book offers in-depth analyses of more than thirty significant plays, situating them within their historical and cultural contexts. It explores the themes, narratives, and artistic expressions that characterize these works, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of their impact and significance in portraying the Holocaust experience.

Plunka argues that drama is the ideal art form to revitalize the collective memory of Holocaust resistance. This comparative drama study examines a variety of international plays - some quite well-known, others more obscure - that focus on collective or individual defiance of the Nazis.
