The Story of Moichele
Written as a propagandistic drama to support Communism and to suggest that capitalism corrupts even those who were Holocaust victims, the play chronicles the travails of a Jewish Polish peasant during the Shoah, including his ghetto and concentration camp experiences. When the war ends, the survivor becomes a greedy businessman who must undergo rehabilitation in East Germany.
