    Based on the life of Irena Gut Opdyke, this is a remarkable story of a “righteous rescuer” and one triumph of the human spirit over the devastation of the Holocaust.

    Over the course of two years, Irena uses her wit, humor, and courage to hide her friends until the end of the German occupation, concealing them in the midst of countless Nazi parties, a blackmail scheme, and even the birth of a child. Her story is one of the most inspiring of our time.

    This production, a Milwaukee premiere, is a collaboration with Milwaukee’s Renaissance Theaterworks. Renaissance Artistic Director Suzan Fete will direct and professional actors Julie Swenson and Drew Brhel will play the roles of Irena and Major Rugemer.
