The Wall is the story of the Warsaw uprising in 1943 against the Nazis. It is a celebration of the outstanding instance of Jewish resistance to the Germans. A dramatic account of how that resistance grew against frightful odds among people who were like people everywhere; selfish, greedy, fearful, cruel, and narrow. People kept on striving for security for themselves, unable to believe that physical resistance was possible or even necessary.

This play will be read by actors of the Jewish Federation’s JFed Players and is being performed in partnership with the National Jewish Theater Foundation Remembrance Readings.

Pasadena Playhouse is proud to participate in the 2019 5th annual National Jewish Theater Foundation Holocaust Theater International Initiative - Remembrance Readings. This play reading commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day January 27th and week of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) May 1-2  and honors the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. Our collective goal is to keep alive their memories, stories and its must-never-be-forgotten lessons. May the power of live theater serve as a moral compass for future generations.
