"The Star on My Heart" at Theatre 8:15

The Star on My Heart is a true story about Holocaust survivor and I Am a Star author Dr. Inge Auerbacher. It follows Inge’s story of her time before the war in Germany, during her time in the Terezin concentration camp in Prague, and her recovery and struggle with tuberculosis in America after the war.

The Holocaust is not just about history. Genocide and racism are alive today. Survivors of the Holocaust will soon be lost, and the time to tell their stories is disappearing. One survivor, Inge Auerbacher, worked with local director/writer Angela Miloro-Hansen, to turn her memoirs of time spent in the Terezin concentration camp into a stage play. The Star on My Heart premiered four years ago, and has since been performed in several locations in north-east Ohio, and the Midwest, including a production off-off Broadway in NYC.

DR. INGE AUERBACHER WILL BE PRESENT FOR BOTH PERFORMANCES AT THEATRE 8:15 AND WILL TALK TO THE AUDIENCE AFTER THE SHOWS.

Curtain 440 is proud to tell Inge Auerbacher’s story, and to be part of the education that accompanies the process, for cast and audience. The venues for the shows are: Theatre 8:15 in Green; 11/8-9, Lake Erie College in Painesville, 11/15-16; Celebration Lutheran in Chardon, 11/22-23; and Berkshire High School in Burton, 12/6-7.
