Ab heute heißt du Sara

In the organizer's words:

"33 pictures from the life of a Berliner"

Inge grows up in a social democratic home. In 1933, her mother tells the 10-year-old that she is "Jewish". Inge only slowly realizes what this will mean for her.
"From now on your name is Sara", a police officer says to 16-year-old Inge in 1938 and stamps a J in her ID card - J for Jew. From now on, everything changes in the life of the self-confident Berlin girl. Inge and her mother remain in Berlin - like all Jews, at the mercy of ostracism and persecution by the Nazis. Otto Weidt, the owner of a workshop for the blind, employs Inge in his office despite all the laws. But after the deportations begin in 1941, Inge and her mother are forced to go into hiding.

In 33 pictures, songs and musical scenes, the play based on Inge Deutschkron's autobiographical book "Ich trug den gelben Stern" (I Wore the Yellow Star) tells of the fear of the persecuted, of the people who helped Inge and her mother and became "silent heroes" for them, of a lost childhood and, last but not least, of the fighting courage of a young girl who does not give up.
