Description

In November 2008, the Zwi Perez Chajes School and the Jehuda Halevi Music School and the Jewish Community Vienna performed “Gideon’s dream” during a remembrance ceremony for the pogrom in November 1938. “Gideon’s dream”, a musical from the memoires of Gideon Sorokin, who was born to Jewish parents in Vienna in 1930, takes his public back to the year 1938. Gideon experiences the beginning of the Shoah as an eight-year-old boy. The production “Gideon’s dream” is based on these events and impressions of the “night of broken glass”.
