'Living to Tell: A Discussion with Child Survivors of Genocide'

will present "Living to Tell: A Discussion with Child Survivors of Genocide," at 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17, following the 3 p.m. matinee performance of "The Diary of Anne Frank."

"The magnitude of the crime of genocide can be overwhelming with the statistics of the sheer numbers of people who are brutalized, displaced or murdered," according to the playhouse announcement. "But genocide, while being one large crime against a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, is also many single crimes committed against countless individuals, even against the youngest and most defenseless."

This panel discussion will focus on the individual experience of genocide, featuring the remarkable stories of several people who survived it as children.
