Council on the Holocaust. Let Your Children Tell has been presented to high school and college classes across the state.

"No stronger appeal for humanity and understanding of the evils of hate and prejudice can be imagined than the actual words of these children." – Abe D. Jones, Jr., Greensboro News & Record Etty Etty is a powerful one-woman play that takes us into the mind of Esther "Etty" Hillesum. She was a young Dutch Jewish woman facing deportation to Auschwitz. Written and performed by Susan Stein, the one-hour play is composed entirely of Etty's words from her diaries and letters. "Etty's words, insights, and beliefs reach out from the Holocaust," writes Stein, "and allow us to see the power of hope and individual thought in the most extreme circumstances." "I'm sure hardly any of my students had ever heard of Etty Hillesum before Susan Stein came to Brandeis. But I doubt anyone will ever forget her again now. . . . With her play Stein accomplishes something remarkable: She allows the young woman writer to triumph over the Nazis sixty years after they murdered her in Auschwitz." – Sabine von Mering, Associate Professor, Brandeis University Top photo reproduced by permission of the Touring Company of North Carolina, Greensboro, NC.
