Set in Europe overshadowed by the looming threat of Nazism, this socio-historic drama tells the love story of two young Germans, the Catholic Diether and the Jewish Liese. On the brink of World War Two, amid rising political tension, Liese escapes with her family to Switzerland, while Diether remains in Germany. Pressed into military service, the broken-hearted Diether struggles to maintain his convictions, and is forced at last to make a terrible choice. As it chronicles the rise of fascism, the play examines the historical, philosophical, and psychological underpinnings of the Th ird Reich, as well as the toll that misguided idealism exacts on human relationships.
