Analyzing The Play 'And Then They Come For Me' By James Still
I think the play And Then They Come for Me, by James Still was a little sad because they were in hiding for there live, and then there dad , brother got killed. It is put on by the Stageone Family Theatre. The context of the production is to persuade you about the Holocaust. The play is wanting to tell you about the Holocaust because it is a bad time of life. Eva and her mom was in a concentration camp. Then they had to not talk, and or move.
I think that the actors were great and that the technicians were also very good. I would have loved to see them have different light colors. But it was still a very good play they were very in depth on what they said during the play. Cause they got to come just so that they could do the play for us and all of the other schools. The bad thing was on Eva’s 15th birthday she got captured and sent to a concentration camp. Her dad Ed Silberberg got killed and her brother was killed when they were in Auschwitz-Birkenau when Eva went out looking for. …show more content…
Because they want to tell you that you did not wanna be around when the Holocaust because you could get killed if you went around the Jues. I would not wanna be around the Jues. Cause it caught my attention about the video screen. Because that was the people that was still alive cause you might get really interested in the play by the video screen or the actors.

    Summary Of The Bielski Brothers: A Family Of Jews In The Holocaust

    Where they would make them do hard work, so much that they would die. And if they didn’t died working, either way they would killed them, without a reason. That was the perspective from what the Germans did, however I didn’t knew how hard the Jews fight for their life, and all the things they did outside the concentration camp in order to survive. For example, they even had to cross a lake that was immense, they didn’t know how deep it was going to be, or if there would be something in the water like some type of snake or something. The only thing they wanted was to survive, and they were able to go across the lake, with all the bags and weapons they had. Also how all of them worked together to survive, for instance, when they crossed the lake, they tied all the belts together. Therefore they were able to grab it and go all together, so they wouldn’t get lost, or drown. How the Jews were able to build houses, nurseries, and a school into the woods, and live for more than two years there. They had to overcome many things in order to survive, and they never lost hope. Last of all, this story changed my perspective of the Holocaust, to that the Jews were really strong, all the things they went through, and how they were able to overcome many of their…

    Eduard Hornemann: The Holocaust

    All the Jewish employees were arrested and sent off to a camp. They were sent to a Dutch concentration camp in Vught. They were forced to work under many hard and harsh circumstances. Over 3,000 prisoners including the Jewish employees from the Phillips Corporation were put to at one of the Philips operation plants. The works that worked there were given extra rations of food and were given extra special privilege, so they could live with their wives and children. When a representatives from Philips Corporation came up to Mrs. Hornemann and told her that they the company could guarantee her family’s safety at the camp, but only if she and her kids were to join their dad at the camp.

    How does Miller present the character of Gellburg in the opening 3 pages of the play?

    Kristallnacht, 1938- Nazi's in Germany smash the windows of Jewish shops and set alight synagogues following the assassination of a German diplomat, Ernst Vom Rath. At the same time a Jewish mother and wife living in Brooklyn loses her ability to walk. I believe Arthur Miller uses the play to examine how situations, exploitation and her paralysed state to be a reflection of each other, with Sylvia Gellburg in her wheelchair representative of the paralysis felt by the Jewish community following this event. Phillip Gellburg also born into the Jewish religion would, you’d expect show compassion and sympathy to those affected. In my essay i will argue how instead Gellburg distances himself from the community as a whole revealing his Jewish heritage not to be something to honoured or respected but in fact a catalyst for his humiliation; In a similar way Sylvia is abashed by his response. It is easy to draw negative conclusions about Gellburg not only in the opening few pages but in the play as a whole not only by our response but due to the other character reactions to him. While we can draw independent conclusions about characters, our understanding through the perception of others such as Margaret Hyman describing him to be “a miserable pisser” and a “dictator” are highly persuasive.…

    Innocence In Frances Goodrich's The Diary Of Anne Frank

    The holocaust was a time of pain, and misery; of loss, and death for six million innocent people. Sometimes, though, when faced with a plethora of appalling statistics that illustrate the immensity of this genocide, we lose sight of the individual victims themselves. It is helpful at such times to narrow our focus to an instance or two, to close our eyes to the devastation played out on a vast scale, in order to appreciate the suffering each individual or families experienced. At Stratford, "The Diary of Anne Frank," written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hacket, which is adapted by Wendy Kesselman permitted me to do just that. This compelling play confines the action of the story to a concealed storage attic, in which the claustrophobic realities…

    HONK! Play Critique

    To be completely honest, I would have to say that majority of the acting was very mediocre. I know it wasn’t supposed to be like something off of Broadway but I expected a lot more, and I felt like only a couple of actors came through with that. The acting was not terrible, but it wasn’t spectacular either. I felt like some characters were not putting their all into their characters. I also felt like some people should not have been casted into the roles they had received. Many times a background character would outshine a main character during the performance. Pertaining to the acting, I think that the fact that it was a musical added more stress to the actors which consequently could have placed a strain on their acting abilities. This is because they were most likely more concerned with their vocals. Something I did like in their acting was the fact that they used little children, I found that very adorable.…

    Theme Of The Diary Of Anne Frank

    In the song “Car Radio” by Twenty One Pilots, there is a lyric that says “I find over the course of our human existence, one thing consists of consistence, and it's that we're all battling fear.” In this quote it talks about how through our human existence we have had to deal with fear. Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett rewrote The Diary of Anne Frank to make it a play. In this play, eight people go into hiding in a secret annex to protect themselves from the Nazi’s during The Holocaust. The strongest theme in the play is, when you are in difficult conditions, being positive and finding light in the situation will help you to survive. This theme is well supported throughout the play.…

    Seminar Play Analysis

    There were some things that I didn’t like about the play. One of the characters portrayed a rebellious girl who wore dark clothes and heavy makeup. She was the one who was hooking up with the professor and her friend. She kept blinking her eyes too much and moving her head to try to look as if she was being seductive. I understand that in order to portray a seductive character some of those gestures would work well. I think the actor over did it, and I found it distracting to watch her keep doing the robotic gestures even when…

    Merchant of Venice and My Last Duchess

    In the beginnig of the play the first scene you see are christians burning the torah. This is becaue they were religious christians who had full hatred towards the jews. The jews were thrown out of their homes and were all sent to a ‘ghetto’ area were only jews lived. Christians would guard the ghetto to see whether any of them would leave and mix with society. they had to wear red hats so that people in the city knew they were a jew. This is quite similar to when hitler invaded certain parts of…

    Broken Glass by Arthur Miller

    Miller makes his audience understand Sylvia and Gellburg’s relationship through the lens of their Jewish culture and throughout the play, Gellburg is eager to differentiate himself from other Jewish people. Sylvia finally brings the persecution of the Jews and the atrocity of the Nazi’s into the open and refuses to watch Gellburg brush off the growing tide of anti-Semitism any longer.…

    Kindertransport Analysis

    Kindertransport by Diane Samuels is about the harrowing journey that some young children had to take in order to flee persecution during the Holocaust. It was an organised rescue effort that took place during the nine months prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. I believe Samuels wrote this play about the Holocaust because no lives should go unforgotten, as we should respect and honour those who were killed, but also raise awareness of those few survivors left, so no history repeats itself. It was such a traumatic time for those who lived through it and throughout the play we learn not only what happened to young children and their families, but also the true meaning of relationships and how they can change when really put to the test.…
