Play Brings Holocaust Story to Local Students

The first words of the “Dear Esther” are some of the most horrible epithets in the English language.

“We are going to teach you that what you hear as a child, you may repeat as an adult and how horrible and evil that can become,” said the play’s narrator.

He then joined two other actors to recite a series of the worst racist and antisemitic names you can think of.

It was a jarring way to begin two performances of the play on March 7 and 8 at the PAC, especially when the audience was nearly 1,000 middle and high school students over two days.

But for Marvin Raab, the son of the play’s namesake Esther Raab, the corrosive effect of hate is the most important message for schoolchildren to hear.

������Ƶ Dives into Prohibition History with National Geographic

Stephen Nagiewicz, an adjunct instructor of Marine Science at ������Ƶ, tucked a sketch of a shipwreck between the pages of a logbook for safekeeping. He knew the amber flasks poking up like gravestones on the seafloor were all that remained of a story worth telling, but how the details of the crew and mission would be uncovered was still a mystery. 

Thirty-five years later, he that would end up deploying multibeam sonar, an ROV, divers, a film crew with cameras in the air and sea, and computer-generated imagery (CGI) to reconstruct the ship and its secret role in prohibition for a season 6 episode of National Geographic’s docuseries “Drain the Oceans.”
