Contents:

The story of the life of Ella Schliesser. A young girl from a Jewish ghetto in the barn quarter joins the communists. She becomes a member of the Agitprop theatre “Red Megaphone”, flees into exile and is arrested. She survives Auschwitz and Ravensbrück. Two years after the war has ended, she has lost all of her strength and suffers from the effects of her ordeals. Eventually, she goes mad and is admitted into a psychiatric clinic, where she burns herself with the words “It is done.”

Notice: Ella Schliesser is a real person, so the play tells an authenic story.
