Alicia, My Story: Adapted and Performed by Betsey Means
Alicia is the story of Alicia Appleman-Jurman, a young girl who managed to survive in a hostile world. While fleeing the Nazis through war-ravaged Poland, she began saving the lives of people she did not know. Her family wrenched from her, Alicia rescued other Jews from the Gestapo, led them to safe hideouts, and lent them her courage and hope. No event could shatter this remarkable child’s faith in human goodness or her determination to prevail against overwhelming odds. Alicia swore that if she survived, she would speak for her silenced family. This is a thrilling, uplifting story of true-life heroism.
