| Riassunto: | Initial attempts by exiled German theater artists to address the Holocaust primarily dealt with the early persecution of the pre-war years. After the war, plays mainly examined the anti-Nazi resistance. The first successful Holocaust play was the adaption of The Diary of Anne Frank, which was performed in the 1950s. This was one of two plays that served as a prelude to a series of Holocaust plays in the 1960s, the majority of which, like Peter Weiss’ The Investigation, were documentary dramas. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, following a decade of German theater devoid of references to the Holocaust, West German theater experienced a revival of plays on the subject. The end of the silence was marked by the 1979 American miniseries, Holocaust, which led to many discussions and increased attention on the Holocaust in Germany. Today there are a wide variety of Holocaust plays in Germany, ranging from pure documentation to grotesque depictions. |
