SEASON
The Ninth Train
Just before the start of World War II, Nicholas Winton organized trains to transport Jewish children out of Czechoslovakia to England. Known as the kindertransports, these trains successfully rescued 664 Jewish children from the death camps of the Holocaust.
During this tragic time in history, some Jewish families had to make a grievous choice: should they separate the family and send their children away on one of these trains to safety, knowing that they may never see them again? Or do they keep the family together in Czechoslovakia and risk ultimate peril against the swiftly advancing forces of their greatest enemy?
This drama explores one family’s experiences with the growing tensions in the region and the difficult choice they have to make in order that at least part of their family might still have a small hope of survival.
This award-winning play is perfect as a competition piece or as a thought-provoking one act that depicts a very human perspective of the Holocaust while also serving as an educational tool. In light of the current rise in anti-semitism, the lessons of the Holocaust cannot be forgotten.
