A play full of feminine and maternal love, "The world without you is a terrible world for me..." - is the story of Mirka, a Jewish girl who escapes from a train bound for a death camp. She makes a very difficult decision: to protect both her newborn child and her guardian from danger, she leaves her son to be raised by the peasant woman who saved her. "And I went out, in the night, into the middle of nowhere, leaving that woman two priceless gifts - I gave her you and the only photograph of your father."
On 27 January, the world commemorates the International Day of Commemoration in memory of the Victims of the Holocaust. On 27 January 1945, 85 years ago, at the end of World War II, the largest concentration and extermination camp in Nazi Germany, Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland, where the Nazis killed more than one million people, was liberated from Nazi Germany's extermination camps.
The State of Israel bestows the honorary title Righteous Among the Nations on citizens of other countries who, at the risk of their own lives, rescued Jews from extermination during the Holocaust. More than 28,000 people have been awarded this distinction, including nearly 1,000 Lithuanians.
The performance is dedicated to all non-Jewish persons who, without any material deduction, saved Jews from genocide.
