"The play "My Father" tells the unique life story of my father Stanislav Rubinov (1930 - 2013). At the beginning of July 1941, his father was shot in Paneriau, and he and his mother did not obey and did not go to the ghetto, and were forced to hide in the forests of Western Belarus until 1944. . They dug out a winter shelter and lived in a hole. They constantly suffered from hunger and cold, more than once they narrowly escaped death... This is a miraculous story of survival."

As maestro Alexander Rubinov himself tells:

My relationship with my father was special: he was my friend, teacher and director of my life. We talked for hours, sometimes we even argued, but we couldn't live without each other... I seemed to know everything about him. He really liked (and knew how) to tell about his life, meetings with wonderful people, interesting stories. But there was one subject he tried to avoid, and that was his Jewish background and the whole subsequent tragedy of his family. I only knew that his father (my grandfather) was killed in 1941. shot and that he and his mother (my grandmother) were forced to hide somewhere in the woods... But I didn't know the reason or the details.

And it was only in 2013, half a year before his death, that his father made up his mind and wrote the book "In the Forest and on the Stage". When I read the manuscript I was shocked, I just cried. A huge story in its tragic scope opened before me. Now I understand why my father didn't want to talk about it and remember it. He was just protecting me and my children from the horrors he had to go through, and most importantly, he was protecting us from the Jewish curse.

I was tormented by doubts for a long time until I decided to put on a play and tell people about MY FATHER.
