PRESENTED BY THE HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL & TOLERANCE PLAYERS OF THE POSNER MEMORIAL LIBRARY.
In coordination with The Lost Wife, which covers one aspect of Terezín, this play, written by Marcia Posner, fills in the rest of Terezín's history and activity. The Gestapo used Terezín as a ghetto during WWII, gathering Jews from many countries. More than 150,000 Jews were sent there, and although it was not an extermination camp, about 33,000 died there due to the appalling conditions arising out of extreme population density. "Smoke & Mirrors" is based on all of the books in a bibliography, which will be available to all who attend this performance.
