A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“…THE BERLIN DIARIES follows Stolowitz’s quest to learn about her extended Jewish family, who lived in Germany during the rise of the Nazi party before emigrating to New York City in 1939. When Andrea receives her late great-grandfather’s diary recounting the family’s life in Berlin before World War II, she sees its potential as a play. After she receives a commission to write the play, she is off to Germany to find answers to questions the diary leaves unanswered. And though her parents’ generation had believed their family’s Holocaust story was unremarkable, as they had all escaped the Nazis, Andrea finds the impact of the Holocaust on the family was much more profound. In the process of her research, she gains a deeper connection to her family and to Germany as her native homeland..."
