A performance based on Emerich Roth's autobiography and is about his experiences during World War II and in the extermination camps.
It takes us from childhood in what was then Czechoslovakia, through the turbulent 1930s and to the unimaginable brutality of the extermination camps. It is a story of hope, despair and Emerich's invincible fundamental idea that love always triumphs over hate in the end.

On January 22, 2022, Emerich Roth passed away, aged 97. He was one of several Holocaust survivors who in recent decades have been involved in schools' work on racism and intolerance. Soon none of them will be left alive, but their stories must continue to be told to keep history alive.
