Beschrijving
Is it possible to create a sense of healing between Germans born since 1945 and their Jewish contemporaries? The question must be considered against a situation in which German war criminals often resumed normal lives, obliterating and denying their past, and against the post-Holocaust stress and anxiety frequently experienced by children of Holocaust survivors. One way to approach the problem is through the medium of art. An example is provided by Philadelphia's Jewish-German Dance Theatre, a collaborative venture between Jews and Germans born since 1945.
