Warsaw [ורשה]
Author(s): Sholem Asch
In 1941, Zichri Mirkin, a lawyer, comes to the house of the Jewish teacher Horowitz. He wants to find a way to save the Polish Jews. But in the Horowitz household everyone has an opinion and a way for salvation. One household member thinks the Jews will be saved by embracing socialism. Horowitz's youngest son follows the Social Democrat Party. And Zalman Kenigstein, a friend of Horowitz, sees moving to the ancient homeland of Israel as the only way for salvation.
