Message from Dr. Hoffmann

To my Japanese friends

Is there something to learn from a personal story of survival more than 70 years old? And the way it shakes a family some decades later? Yes, for every day, today, the news brings us terrible images of human cruelty to other human beings, of refugees, of families and children desperately striving for survival. Yet, in the midst of that suffering there is humanity, one person reaching out to another, despite risk to oneself and family -- reaching out a hand, and helping. The gods... stand by; it is human beings who make choices for good and for evil. The play you are about to see performed, or to read, is my story, but it is also for all of us.
