David Schechter’s one-woman play Hannah Senesh is about a young Hungarian woman with a profound sense of Zionism in the British Mandate of Palestine in 1939. As the war heated up and Senesh learned of the plight of European Jews, she joined the Palmach and with a British unit of paramilitary fighters, parachuted into Europe behind enemy lines with a mission to save Hungarian Jews. Within hours of crossing the Hungarian border, she was arrested, tortured, tried and ultimately executed in November 1944. Fee: $36
