The Story...

A play with music, Yahrzeit is a work of historical fiction inspired by the incredible real life events of Sidney Taussig and the boys of Dorm Number One in Terezin concentration camp who created the longest-running underground publication of the Holocaust. Poems, prose, and songs from the magazine are threaded throughout this gripping story of human triumph told through the eyes of teenage boys.

The play's world premiere run took place Off-Broadway at the Theatre at St. Clement's from July 10th to July 25th, 2021. A Yom HaShoah benefit performance on Broadway was held at The Town Hall on April 27th, 2022.
