<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>This book is a contribution to the emerging field of <i>research-based performance</i>, which seeks to gain a wider audience for issues that are crucial to our understanding of history and, going forward, to inform our future actions. The book examines the role of theater in portraying topics related to the Holocaust and its aftermath: the Shoah in France, the French Resistance, and the conflicted situation between Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. Each of the three chapters consists of an original dramatic work by the author and an accompanying critical essay. Presented in this unique way, the essays and plays are intended to bring history alive to students in a way that scholarly discussion alone cannot achieve.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Inez Hedges is Professor Emerita at Northeastern University, USA.
