While youth-focused plays about the Holocaust have been in the repertories of top professional companies throughout the world for decades and continue to be performed in theatres, schools, and community centers, they are often neglected in concentrated and comparative studies of Holocaust theatre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eErika Hughes fills this gap by examining plays (including \u003ci\u003eThe Diary of Anne Frank\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAb heure hei t Du Sara\u003c\/i\u003e), musicals, performances, scripts, a rock concert, a performance on Instagram, and pedagogically-focused works of applied theatre - a diverse collection of performances for young audiences that tell the stories of young people who experienced the Holocaust. Adopting Hannah Arendt's notion of natality as a powerful framework, this study examines the ways in which youth-theatre performances make a vital contribution to intergenerational witnessing and the collective memory of the Holocaust.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErika Hughes\u003c\/b\u003e is Academic Lead, Performance in the School of Art, Design and Performance at the University of Portsmouth, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 21, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43154953044031,"sku":"9781350266131","price":86.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/Rk3uwYkAtm9781350266131.webp?v=1776960889","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/holocaust-memory-and-youth-performance-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
