Yavneh Eighth Graders Present 44th Holocaust Play

The Yavneh graduating class of 2021 presented yet another captivating Holocaust production, the 44th since they were introduced by former Principal Rabbi Eugene Kwalwasser in 1977. The online presentation was aired on Tuesday evening, June 1. Entitled “Kindertransport,” the program explored the stories of four child survivors who were sent away by their parents to a safe haven in London before the outbreak of World War II. For the past 20 years, Rabbi Shmuel Burstein, rebbe and Jewish history instructor at Yavneh, has researched and produced a presentation honoring individual survivors of the Holocaust, including Rav Yisrael Meir Lau; Jacob Frank, tailor for the infamous Heinrich Himmler; the Bielski brothers; and rescuers including Chiune Sugihara, Japanese consul in Lithuania, and Adolfo Kaminsky, a teenage Jewish prisoner who saved 14,000 French Jews through his forged certificates.
