“I have worked on this show for two consecutive years, it’s always a pleasure to work on something that spreads awareness of something so critical in our history. We can never forget what happened in Germany and all around the world; the themes of the show are still prevalent today, people are still facing adversity and not being recognized as human. To me, its not just about the struggles of the past, its a warning about the struggles of our future if we do not come together and stop the spread of hatred. It’s and honor and a blessing to work with the Wagner College Holocaust center on this beautiful project and I hope the message of spreading love and peace will continue” -Tyler Siegel
