Interview w/ Debra Jacobson (daughter of Evie [Schuerman] Jacobson) w/ Sarah Malek (actor) and Bonnie Abrams (daughter of Eva [Vezer] Abrams)
This was just the first of several interviews that we plan to set up with a survivor’s family member and the actor playing the role of their parent or grandparent. We interviewed the daughters of two survivors chronicled in the play. The same actress, Sarah, plays both. These individual interviews with the daughters of these two survivors were very moving and totally different from each other. One daughter told of her mother’s openness about the Holocaust while the other daughter heard very little about it from her mother.
After the interviews, the actress (whose own grandmother is a Holocaust survivor, but not featured in the play), got to meet these daughters and learn more about their mothers’ personalities. Conducting the interviews and then listening to the interactions between these women was emotional.
