Overview

• Safier’s new book is based on Jerzy Jurandot’s Die Liebe sucht ein Zimmer, the only known Holocaust-era play written and performed by Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.
• The 1942 comedy originally offered Jewish audiences brief respite from hunger and persecution under Nazi occupation.
• All original dialogue and songs are woven into a fictional plot about actress Sara and her conflicted relationships with fellow actor Edmund and director Michal.
• The release follows Safier’s recent shift from lighthearted bestsellers such as Mieses Karma to serious Holocaust narratives like Solange wir leben and 28 Tage lang.
• The adaptation underscores the resilience and creativity of Ghetto performers who used theater as an act of cultural survival.
