Societies continue to struggle with the terrible legacy of the
holocaust, but many of them cope through a wide range of
performative cultural responses. A canon of more than 750 known
plays, musicals, archival adaptations, ceremonies, interactive
exhibits, and concerts reflect the manifold ideas of what the
Holocaust was, who it affected and how it should be remembered by
us all. In many of these works, youth is a key category of
importance. Holocaust Memory and Youth Performance is the first
critical examination of youth-focused plays and performances about
the Holocaust. It considers works that are written by young authors
as well as pieces taken from the diaries and memoirs of those who
experienced the Holocaust as children or adolescents. While
youth-focused plays about the Holocaust have been in the
repertories of top professional companies throughout the world for
decades and continue to be performed in theatres, schools and
community centers, they are often neglected in concentrated and
comparative studies of Holocaust theatre. Erika Hughes fills this
gap by examining plays, including The Diary of Anne Frank and Today
You are Called Sara, musicals, performances, scripts, performative
museum installations and pedagogically-focused works of applied
theatre for young audiences that tell the stories of young people
who experienced the Holocaust. Adopting Hannah Arendt’s notion of
natality as a powerful framework, this study examines the ways in
which youth-theatre performances make a vital contribution to
intergenerational witnessing and the collective memory of the
Holocaust.
