It will also explore the role of the German Lutheran Churches in WWII and the birth of the Confessing Church using a combination of re-enactments and historical newsreels.
This play explores a serious topic, but it is age appropriate for youth and adults. Following the performance, Lori Brandt Hale, Associate Professor of Religion Augsburg University, and Vice-President, International Bonhoeffer Society, will lead a a 20-minute youth friendly Q & A.
