Bunter Abend 2
(Colorful Evening 2)
March 1944

In mid November 1943, the protection against deportation, previously afforded to members of the Theater Group, comes to an abrupt end. Henceforth, troupe members - except for the stars - are eligible "for transport" to the East.
In February 1944, 811 persons are sent to Theresienstadt, including the film actor and director Kurt Geron.
Josef Baar, Hermann Feiner, Heinz Rosenfeld, Gunter Witepski and Arthur Durlacher are also gone by the time the present revue is staged, as is the chorus line.
This time the program includes 16 scenes particularly aimed at the younger camp inmates who, because they constitute a necessary labor force in Westerbork, still remain more-or-less unthreatened by deportation.
Tickets for this production are greatly sought after by the camp inmates. They aren't expensive, only 10 cents, but they are difficult to come by.
The program lists 16 scenes:
 
1. Parkett Reihe 1 
(Esther Philipse, Mara Rosen, Otto Aurich, Liesl Frank, Franz Engel, Max Ehrlich)
