Bunter Abend 3
 (Colorful Evening 3),
April 1944



By this time, the Theater Group is strongly depleted due to new deportations amongst its few remaining members to Theresienstadt and Bergen-Belsen. Nevertheless, the quality of the performances continues to remain "outstanding," as Fred Schwartz, a contemporary observer notes.

As in the most recent show a month earlier, the program includes 16 scenes. The main theme concerns the battle of the sexes and all references to camp life in Westerbork have now disappeared from the stage.

 


The program lists 16 scenes:

1. "With Humor, Everything Goes Twice as Well!" (Jetty Cantor, Lisl [sic] Frank, Esther Philipse, Mara Rosen, Otto Aurich) 
"Mit Humor geht alles noch mal so gut!" (Jetty Cantor, Lisl [sic] Frank, Esther Philipse, Mara Rosen, Otto Aurich)
