Written by Marcia Posner this original play coordinates with this year’s Long Island Reads One Book, The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman. The book covers one aspect of Terezin; the play fills in the rest of the ghetto history. The Gestapo used Terezin as a ghetto during WWII, concentrating more than 150,000 Jews from many countries. Although it was not an extermination camp, about 33,000 died, mostly due to the appalling conditions arising out of extreme population density. Marcia W. Posner, Ph.D, retired librarian is on the Board of Directors at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County.
