Truth Makes You Free

Set in Europe overshadowed by the looming threat of Nazism, this

socio-historic drama tells the love story of two young Germans, the

Catholic Diether and the Jewish Liese. On the brink of World War

Two, amid rising political tension, Liese escapes with her family to Switzerland,

while Diether remains in Germany. Pressed into military service, the

broken-hearted Diether struggles to maintain his convictions, and is forced

at last to make a terrible choice. As it chronicles the rise of fascism, the play

examines the historical, philosophical, and psychological underpinnings of

the Th ird Reich, as well as the toll that misguided idealism exacts on human

relationships.
