Free Performance of 'A Child's View of the Holocaust' Held in Windham May 9

“A Child’s View of the Holocaust” will be presented by New England Dance Ensemble on Saturday, May 9, at 7 p.m., at the Windham High School Theater.

The public is invited to view the one hour production at no cost.

This original piece was choreographed by NEDE Artistic Director Barbara Mullen in 1990. The company tours annually visiting schools, civic centers and religious communities across New England. NEDE received the prestigious Hildebrandt Award from the Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State University.

Last year, it was featured at the New Hampshire Holocaust Memorial opening in Nashua. Its mission is to commemorate the impacts of Nazi atrocities in Germany during the historical period between 1939 and 1945. It does so artistically and poignantly with music and dramatic interpretation through movement by a highly trained cast of young performers.

Each Spring, NEDE company members are invited to participate in this performance. Cast members, age eight to eighteen, hail from Londonderry, Windham, Derry, Salem, Manchester and several other Southern NH and Massachusetts towns. The production brings to life a moving theatrical tribute.

Entrance on May 9 is free, and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Children ages 4 and under are not permitted in the theater.

NEDE is a non-profit arts organization. Its annual productions include “The Nutcracker,” Story Dance Touring Company’s “The Lorax”, and well as other seasonal presentations.
