In mid November 1943, the protection against deportation, previously
afforded to members of the Theater Group, comes to an abrupt end.
Henceforth, troupe members - except for the stars - are eligible "for
transport" to the East.
In February 1944, 811 persons are sent to
Theresienstadt, including the film actor and director Kurt Geron.
Josef Baar, Hermann Feiner, Heinz Rosenfeld, Gunter Witepski and Arthur
Durlacher are also gone by the time the present revue is staged, as is
the chorus line.
This time the program includes 18
scenes particularly aimed at the younger camp inmates who,
because they constitute a necessary labor force in Westerbork, still
remain more-or-less unthreatened by deportation.
Tickets for this production are greatly sought after by the camp inmates. They aren't expensive, only 10 cents (photo),
but they are difficult to come by.
