A Punchline
Staged Reading
2018
A Holocaust survivor, Leah, moves to Hollywood and creates a TV show featuring “funny Nazis” which has proven popular (as well as offensive to many). She tells her story in a synagogue as part of a lecture and discussion series, during which she remembers a special relationship she forged in the concentration camp, and the price she had to pay for survival on her own terms.
