An awe-inspiring adaptation of Helena Weinrauch’s incredible 1945 memoir, this emotional rollercoaster of a one-woman show follows her extraordinary journey from childhood through her survival of three Holocaust concentration camps and her road to recovery. Her story is a testament to our instinctive will to survive, the strength of music in the darkest of times, and the power of love. Helena’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving the memory of the Holocaust and honoring those who survived.
