Re: [Cz-L] Poems of Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger -- translations

Eytan, Irene, Helene,

Wasn't there also a play produced in Germany several years ago based
on Selma's poetry? I think your Eytan's mother, Pearl, helped
provide background to the producers and then was invited to the
play's opening performance in Germany. Or is my memory off on this
one?

Best always,
Bruce
