This is part of the Intimate Relations Project, the culmination of workshops in Berlin and New York. Two plays are being developed. One looks at how the Holocaust has affected young Germans living there today (LUNA'S BRACELET by Mario Golden and a German playwright). SEARCHING FOR A NEW SUN looks at the effect of the Holocaust on second-and third-generation descendants of survivors who are Jewish, living in New York. Premiere productions will be in Berlin in August and September, 2010.
