Concordia University Texas Theatre will present Diane Samuels’ Kindertransport, a play that explores the themes of parent-child separation and the price of survival during wartime.

The play explores the experiences of nearly 10,000 children, mostly Jewish, who were sent from Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Austria to safety in Britain between 1938 and the outbreak of World War II.

Samuels' powerful work portrays the life of one such child, Eva, a young German Jewish girl torn from her parents at 9 years old and brought to England with the promise of a new beginning. As an adult, now known as Evelyn, she grapples with her past while her own daughter prepares to leave home.

The performance will be in the University's Black Box Theater.
