#BalletMagnificat! #ballet #balletdance #israel #holocaustsurvivor
A wonderful & unique ballet was performed for nearly 3,000 Holocaust survivors, WWII veterans & their families in 6 different cities throughout Israel during the week of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), a day in Israel in which we remember and commemorate the 6 million Jews that were murdered during the Holocaust.
The responses were overwhelming.
The performance is called "HIDING PLACE", performed by "Ballet Magnificat!" and takes place in the height of the Holocaust in the war zone of Dutch Haarlem in 1944. Through dance, the story of two sisters, Corrie and Betsie ten Boom, is portrayed as they search for possibilities to help their life-long Jewish neighbors and friends find security in a small hiding place built in the wall of their home, only to be discovered and transported to the concentration camp of Ravensbrück and face struggles far exceeding their wildest imagination.
The performers are "Ballet Magnificat!", a team of 14 professional dancers from the USA, with a great level of drama, passion, pain, yet joy, and ultimately hope, as the audience is brought before the challenge to believe the unbelievable– the power of FORGIVENESS.
