In the Vilna Ghetto, under the watchful eyes of the Nazis, poets Avrom Sutzkever and Shmerke Kaczerginski joined a group of artists and resistance fighters known as the “Paper Brigade.” Risking their lives day after day, they secretly rescued and hid priceless treasures of Jewish culture – manuscripts, books, artworks, and poetry – saving them from destruction. 

A moving musical production featuring Vilna-associated songs that have become part of Jewish collective memory, including "Shtiler, Shtiler", "Unter Dayne Vayse Shtern", and "Oyfn Veg Shteyt a Boym". A story of courage, creativity, and the power of words to sustain hope.

The performance features Hebrew and Russian subtitles
