The Story
Did Hitler's daughter really exist? Four country children waiting in the rain for the school bus take turns telling stories. One story about Heidi, a young girl whose father was one of the most dreaded men in history, takes the children to Nazi Germany. As the children become more engrossed in Heidi’s world, their conversations explore the moral and ethical issues the tale raises.
This stunning production poses powerful questions about a frightening period in history and forces us to examine moral issues in relation to society's fears and prejudices in a fresh, compelling light.
