Rising From The Ashes Vol 1

About the Book

"All three character driven two-act plays in Beyond the Abyss— Adam’s Daughter, Common Ground, and Seder—are set in present day Chicago. Of note, while each explores themes that attend the tragedy of Holocaust, none of the plays attempts to portray the vile and violent conditions inside concentration or death camps. Rather, the plays portray the profound moral, social, and psychological ramifications of the Shoah as the horrors and dislocations of World War II continue to influence modern Jewish life."
