Holocaust Survivor Will Attend GET Production on the Subject

Imagine hearing sirens and wondering if you were about to be discovered. Imagine hiding from soldiers for months. Imagine the fear they must have felt. 

Holocaust survivor, Eva Geringer Schloss, doesn't have to imagine; she lived it.

This Saturday, Mar. 12 at 12:30 p.m., the Georgia Ensemble Theatre will present the Holocaust drama, "And Then They Came For Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank," in a one-time only public performance.

The production is a multi-media Holocaust drama that tells the story of two childhood friends of Anne Frank. Ed Silverberg's story is one of hiding and escaping from the Nazis, while Eva Geringer Schloss' story is one of surviving the Holocaust after being incarcerated at Auschwitz with her mother. Ed and Eva share their story on video, while professional actors reenact their incredible experiences as teenagers in hiding and in concentration camps during WWII, according to a production release.

The run time is approximately one hour.

Geringer Schloss will be in attendance during Saturday's production. Audience members will have the opportunity to purchase a VIP Package, which includes: preferred seating at the performance, a talk-back discussion after the show, followed by a high tea reception with Geringer Schloss at Mittie's Tea Room in Historic Roswell. VIP guests will have the opportunity to chat with Geringer Schloss and have her sign a copy of her book, Eva's Story, on which the play is based.

Tickets are $15; $10 for students. Due to the intense nature of the content, this performance is appropriate for 5th grade and up. VIP Tickets are limited to the first 50 patrons and cost $45. Tickets are available now: online (www.get.org) or at the box office: 770-641-1260.
