NJTF Remembrance Readings Second Decade

WHY

The NJTF HTII Remembrance Play Readings program honors the victims, survivors, and lessons of the Holocaust. May the unique power of theater in performance and education overcome the forces of bigotry, division, anti-Semitism, and Holocaust denial, and serve as an artistic moral compass for current and future generations.

WHEN

Remembrance Readings are public performances of Holocaust plays, scenes, monologues, and verbatim testimonies selected by participants from the online NJTF Holocaust Theater Catalog. They are held in commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27) Yom HaShoah-Holocaust Remembrance Day (April 23 & 24), and Kristallnacht (November 9th & 10th). Organizations are also welcome to choose another date(s) that better serve their collective constituencies and participants.

HOW

Remembrance Readings of Holocaust plays do not require lengthy rehearsals and expensive production values. They can be done in concert or staged reading formats, in a variety of settings by diverse participants of all ages. They have involved theaters, Holocaust museums, theater artists, libraries, Holocaust educators, schools, universities, places of worship, youth and community centers, memorial museums, and the general public. Remembrance Readings have been done by very experienced actors to those with limited or no formal theater training. 

We suggest these readings be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A.  These conversations are meant to provide a deeper understanding of the play's content, context, themes, and contemporary relevance.
