(A young well-dressed JEWISH MAN is walking down the street, carrying a violin-case. Two SS-MEN enter. One of them is hitting the JEWISH MAN, a box on the ear, and then the other one is doing the same. The young MAN is stumbling, holding on to his head…and walks away.)

RUTH:

I, RUTH MAIER, AGE EIGHTEEN, AM ASKING THE WORLD TODAY

IF THIS IS ALLOWED?

GOD; IF YOU SEE US NOW: THIS BRUTALITY MUST BE PAID BACK IN BLOOD!

GUNVOR:

(Reading from the diary:) In the year 1938 the world was a very dark place!

ENSEMBLE:

RED, THE JEW WILL BLEED WHEN YOU BEAT HIM.

(JUDITH joins RUTH.)

RUTH: ENSEMBLE: AND THE JEWS RED, THE JEW WILL BLEED ARE SUFFERING. WHEN YOU BEAT HIM. I LOVE THE JEWS BECAUSE THEY SUFFER.

I AM A JEWESS!

AND THEY CAN BEAT ME AND KICK ME, SPIT ON ME NOW! I AM A JEWESS! SEE MY VEINS!

CUT THEM OPEN. SO MY RED, JEWISH BLOOD IS FLOWING. I AM A JEWESS.
