The extraordinary true story of Abe, a man the playwright met at his synagogue. Abe was a fellow of great humor and heart who not only survived three years at Auschwitz - certainly the worst place on earth - but fell in love there. Abe's life speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, renewal, and hope, even when there seems to be none.
