Paper Brigade:
|
|
During WWII, a group of writers, scholars, and intellectuals risked their lives to steal and hide Yiddish literature from the Nazis. Among them were several famous poets and culture makers…and a woman historian who was far ahead of her time.
When the Nazis invade, a Jewish historian and her Polish housekeeper go to impossible lengths to smuggle their daughter and Vilna’s precious Yiddish books to safety. But what happens when war ends and trauma continues?
Paper Brigade is a new musical about cultural resilience in the face of fascism and one woman’s lifelong obsession with the archive she risks everything to save.
