- Title
Homens mapole: Hope in the Immediate Postwar Period.
- Authors
Aronowicz, Annette
- Abstract
The article focuses on the "Homens Mapole" or "The Downfall of Haman," one of the Yiddish plays written by Haim Sloves that Jewish survivors performed in the aftermath of the World War II. The play reflects the reentry into life of a group of Jews in the aftermath of a great destruction and in a political climate that was to lead to the Cold War. The Yiddish press and elsewhere refer to the strangeness of juxtaposing of the play such a light filled with music, dance and laughter to the recent events.
