Memoriam
Author(s): Noga Flaishon

Now Rachel, a buyer for Memoriam, is going after the most important and most personal memory acquisition she has ever sought: the memories of the last Holocaust survivor on Earth, who happens to be her own grandmother. The play is a story of family and what memories mean, who owns them, and what we owe to future generations.
