Who Will Carry the Word? is based upon the true story of Charlotte Delbo’s of life in concentration camps. The play depicts the lives of 23 women while they shared a barracks in Auschwitz. Their goal: to keep the strongest of them alive so that someone could share what they had experienced with the world.

The Red Fern Theatre Company’s production of Who Will Carry the Word?, opened February 21, 2008 at Center Stage (48 West 21st Street, between 5th & 6th Ave.) and ran through March 2. Proceeds from the production benefited Remember the Women Institute, a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit corporation that conducts and encourages research and cultural activities that contribute to including women in history.
