Sample text
In the penultimate scene, one of the group has just killed herself on the electrified wire rather than participate in the "White Kerchief Kommando," the group of inmates who prepared the arriving children for their death. As in The Cannibals, Delbo seems to validate the final choice reserved to concentrate camp prisoners, that of suicide. By that action, Gina refuses to give assent to the inhumanity of her enemies, despite the recognition that it will have no effect on the agenda of death the Nazis are committed to carrying out.
In a way, these playwrights make a virtue out of anonymity. The twenty-two women prisoners who are incarcerated in Auschwitz at the beginning of Charlotte Delbo's Who Will Carry The Word? are in a situation similar to their Trojan ancestors. Slowly decreased by murder and suicide in the course of Delbo's play, their situation is postexilic, that is, after the deportation. In the closing moments, only two women remain alive to direct at the audience (and by implication all people who have not suffered as they have) the "word" they are charged with carrying.
And Gabriel Emanuel {Children of the Night) are not as dramatically skilled. 17 Korczak's Children focuses on Korczak's efforts to save his orphanage and provide for its children, but Brady broadens the action to include a fuller discussion of the historical and cultural context in which Korczak lived and worked. The play begins with the orphanage children performing a little play about Poland's King Casimir, who, despite counsel to the contrary, is determined to protect Poland's Jewish population.
