Using the history of World War II as our foundation, performers will learn more about significant events and survivors who immigrated to Cincinnati, as well as develop characters through monologues and costume design. On the last day, performers will interact with museum-goers, friends and family during a living history tour of the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust and Humanity Center.
