About this event
SYNOPSIS: If you could save someone’s life, should you? A Nazi officer saves Suse Schilling’s life by placing her in a cell with sex workers, who are soon to be set free, instead of with the Jewish prisoners. After the war, she receives a letter asking if she will testify on his behalf in court. Suse is then faced with a difficult decision: whether or not to save a Nazi’s life.
This play is based on a true story.
