Description

View the play, " Whistle: My Mother was Mengele’s Secretary " then discuss with the experts.

Although most of our beloved concert venues, theaters, and galleries remain closed, we are delighted to be able to offer you an opportunity to connect with Israeli performers in a virtual setting.

Israeli playwright/actor Hadar Galron adapted Jacob Buchan's story of being raised “invisible” by Holocaust survivors. Her character, at 45, is just now assessing her own damaged state, wondering how she might finally break through and be a little happy. Second generation survivors respond to her portrayal of a woman who just wants to get her whistle back.

- Hadar Gilron, playwright, screenwriter, actress, director, songwriter, and comedienne
- Anne Lukas, board chair, Kol Israel Foundation
- Hedy Milgrom, Jewish Federation of Cleveland
- Faye Sholiton, playwright and founder, Interplay Jewish Theatre (moderator)
