Description
Ghetto tells the story of an unlikely theatre flourishing in the Jewish ghetto of Vilna, Lithuania, during the darkest days of the holocaust. Based on diaries written by those who lived through this period, the book reveals how people found solace and community in the performing arts.
Despite the Nazi's policy of mass extermination, a thriving theatre scene emerged, with shows selling out weeks in advance. The contrast between the brutal reality outside and the joy of performance is a powerful testament to the human spirit.
This book provides a unique glimpse into a remarkable period in history, where art and community helped people cope with unimaginable hardship.
