"Embers from the Ashes: a Girl's Holocaust Diary"
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
7:30 PM

Aronoff Center for the Arts, 5/3 Bank Theater
Corner of Main & 7th Street
Cincinnati, OH 45202

"Embers from the Ashes: a Girl's Holocaust Diary," written by Kalman Kivkovich and directed by Tom Manning; a world premier staged-reading performance sponsored by Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative and Cincinnati Arts Association.  The play is loosely based on a recently found journal.  A 14-year-old Israeli girl discovers having a sister who had perished in the Holocaust.  Decades later, in 2006, she learns that a Polish woman had found her sister's notebook, but kept it a secret for 61 years.  A flashback takes us to 1942, Nazi-occupied Bedzin, Poland.  We stay with a family who faces foreseeable destruction.  We witness the struggle of an adolescent coming of age in the foreground of formidable evil.   It echoes the voices of a million and a half Jewish children who didn't live to tell their stories.

Tickets are $7 and can be purchased in advance at the Aronoff Center Box Office: 513-621-2787.  or online at
http://www.cincinnatiarts.org/event_detail.jsp?event_id=753    

Tickets are limited.
