Poetry, dance, symbolic scenery, and costumes all work together to make this an unforgettable tribute to the thousands of children who did not survive their imprisonment at the Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia concentration camp.  In English translation, the narrative features actual stories and poems written by the lost children themselves.  Their own words poignantly describe scenes of their daily life in the ghetto — their moments of hope and despair.

Also available:  A comprehensive Holocaust Study Guide, 30 pages, 8 1/2 by 11, spiral bound.  Designed as a pre- and post-performance study guide for Can You Hear Them Crying?, this helpful resource may also be used to lead a supplemental unit on the Holocaust, its history, and meaning.  Sections include The Holocaust, Genocide, The Final Solution, Ghettos, Concentration Camps, and more, including four maps.  A play analysis, classroom discussion questions, and two performance-oriented classroom projects make this an especially useful tool for classroom use. In light of the current rise in anti-semitism, the lessons of the Holocaust cannot be forgotten.
