Five songwriting teams and Tony Award-winning writer Robert L. Freedman bring to life the words of five Jewish teen – Éva Heymann, Dawid Rubinowicz, Moshe Flinker, Renia Spiegel and Yitskhok Rudashevski – who recorded their experiences in diaries as their world descended into World War II. These memoirs are a testament to the human spirit during a period in history that must never be forgotten.
