The Wartime Diary of Edmund Kessler
Author(s): Edmund Kessler & Renata Kessler
The play is adapted from a book of the same name, which was written by Edmund Kessler and edited by his daughter Renata Kessler. Edmund Kessler, a Jewish attorney from Lwow, Poland describes his experiences between 1942 and 1944 in the Lwow Ghetto and as a prisoner in the Janowska concentration camp. He also recounts the courage of a Polish farmer and his family who allowed him and 23 other Jews to hide in an underground bunker on their farm.
