Waarom Truus

After exciting discussions, she can bring a convoy of children during the Shabbat. She organizes, arranges and coordinates a train transport, eventually leaving on December 10, 1938 with 600 Jewish children from Vienna to Hoek van Holland. 500 of them travel on by ship to England, as agreed with the English government. The others are taken care of in the Netherlands.

The fascination of Margje Wittermans for this "saving angel", Truus Wijsmuller, whose role, strength and heroic resistance has remained unexposed for a long time, is at the basis of this theater production. Together with Janos Koolen who draws for the music and in the direction of Bruun Kuijt, the selflessness, perseverance and the strength of an individual who wants to do something against terrible injustice is shown. Act when the need is highest. Personal commitment when it comes to life and death. A music theater production in which a special artistic interpretation is given to the extremely current answer to the question: "And what would you do?"
