This first English anthology of Israeli Holocaust drama makes
available five important Israeli dramatic works, focusing on the
more controversial productions of the last two decades. Although it
once relied on a repertoire drawn largely from other countries, the
fledgling Israeli stage is coming into its own, and a hearty
generation of native writers makes this volume a welcome tradition
to what has been a dearth of contemporary Hebrew drama available in
English. This collection brings together for the first time the
dramatic responses to the Holocaust from two generations of Israeli
playwrights. Leah Goldberg, Aharon Megged, and Ben Zion Tomer were
born in Eastern Europe and settled in British Palestine before
World War II. Joshua Sobol and Motti Lerner were born in British
Palestine and Israel respectively. Written some forty years after
the events, their plays question the conventional notion of
heroism, of good and evil, and the more ambiguous moral issues of
collaboration and the failure to resist.
