Early TV play dealing with the holocaust
phlbrq1 June 2010
The only time I saw this drama was at the time of its premiere but in unusual scheduling for network affiliates it was shown a second time in the same week. To my 13 year old mind (what's a gonad?) it conveyed extra importance. The playwrite of Marat/Sade adapted the transcripts of a trial of concentration camp inmates, officials and townspeople into a searing examination of inhumanity. It was powerful with no actors I recognized and an unadorned style unfamiliar to me. Over the years I've searched for info on this. I recall it was published but the text was not available at the libraries in my area and the film has never surfaced anywhere to my knowledge. Slow, nothing but characters testifying and I'd really like to see it again. Back then one watched largely in isolation without contextual information or social media.
