Remembering Refugees: Then and Now explores the paradox of why nations pride themselves on their past treatment of refugees yet are suspicious and hostile towards current-day asylum seekers. In Brundibar, Kushner cooperates with Maurice Sendak to tell the history behind and the revival of the Czech opera/children’s story extolling the virtues of courage and collective action against tyranny —staged 55 times at Terezin death camp.
