Manya Frydman Perel (born in 1924) survived eight concentration camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau. She dedicated almost fifty years of her life to educating thousands of students on the horrors of Nazi crimes against humanity. Her death on July 29, 2020, inspired the foundation of “The Manya Project”, which pays homage to survivors by keeping their verbatim personal narratives about the Holocaust visually and aurally alive through theatrical performance. These plays present Holocaust survivor’s experiences in their own words. These documentary theatre pieces seek to keep survivor stories alive and embodied into the future. This project seeks to pay homage to Holocaust victims; educate audiences; raise moral questions for discussion and reflection; and help audiences draw a lesson of personal empathy from these historic narratives.
