Louis Posner Memorial Library Book Club - “Leopoldstadt” by Tom Stoppard

  • Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County 100 Crescent Beach Road Glen Cove, NY, 11542 United States (map)

Set in Vienna in the home of an affluent Jewish family, this stage play script tells the story of the coming catastrophe that would be called the Holocaust and its devastating effects on the family members.  Currently playing on Broadway, “Leopoldstadt” is a memorial to a lost world, teeming with ideas, debate, humor and the sharp sense of betrayal among those who believed they were too safely assimilated into European society to be in danger when the Nazis arrived.
