Experience the gripping true story of Holocaust survivor Abraham Piasecki and his journey of resilience.
Arts Bonita will present the powerful and immersive production of "Remember: The Story of Abe Price," a gripping new original play based on the true story of Holocaust survivor Abraham Piasecki. Presented in partnership with Gulfshore Playhouse Education and The Holocaust Museum, this compelling production brings to life the resilient journey of Abraham Piasecki, whose life was uprooted by the Nazi invasion of Poland.
At just 16 years old, Abraham Piasecki faced unimaginable trials, from living in the Kielce ghetto to enduring imprisonment at Auschwitz-Birkenau. "Remember" delves into Piasecki's harrowing experiences, vividly portraying his escape from Nazi captivity five times. This immersive and challenging narrative offers a captivating insight into one man's resilience and a poignant reminder to never forget.
