Duration: 60 minutes
What thought or question starts the feeling that something is wrong? At what moment do you turn this thought into action? In this performance, we will explore what resistance is, how small it can stay, or how big it can grow, and what happens when you only watch?
They will talk to to survivors about Amsterdam women who were part of the resistance during the Second World War. What kind of community and combined forces were used to keep a child safe at this time? This performance looks at the position of women during that time; what their limitations were, and also how women were able to take advantage of the fact that they were often underestimated because of their gender.
Through this performance the National Holocaust Museum will explore these topics and ask; What courage or fear may lie within ourselves to feel when something is not right and to say or do something when necessary?
