A dramatic adaptation of Lizzy Doron’s best selling autobiography, which has been translated into German, French, Italian, Russian, Polish, and other. The book has won the Yad Vashem Bouchman Prize, the Mediterranean Prize for Literature, and the Italian Jewry Literature Prize. Lizzy Doron was presented the prestigious Jeanette Schocken Prize for Literary Excellence in the Port city of Bremen, Germany, where the Nazis, for the first time, burned books.
The play tells the story of Elizabeth’s childhood with her mother, Helena, in the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Bitzaron in the 1960’s. The audience sees, through Elizabeth’s eyes, her mother and the women who are their neighbors, all Holocaust survivors, trying to adjust to Israeli society while dealing with their pasts.
Above all else, this is a meeting between Lizzy Doron, a second generation Holocaust survivor, and the actors in the play, some of them 3rd generation survivors of W.W.II.
