    As you might expect from a story taken from the Holocaust, this play is absolutely chilling. But if we are to ever learn from history, stories like QUI VIVRA VERRA must continue to be told. Thank you Danielle Wirsansky for bringing this story, as difficult as it is, to light.

    A short play that communicates so much about the ability of humans to rationalize cruelty and murder, something that continues today. An easy trap to fall into with so much war and atrocities all over the world.

    A play that breaks your soul, explodes the heart, and makes you ponder - "did we learn anything form the past? Is it too late to start now?" Wirsansky use of history pleads for more humanity. This short play may just be a tiny blip in a history class but is the world in a class dedicated to ethics. More ethics, please. More discussion.
