This is a play based on the true story of Adam Czerniakow, head of the Warsaw Ghetto Judenrat, during World War Two. Adam is a morally conflicted figure torn between between the need to ameliorate the worse excesses of the Nazi's and the danger of being manipulated into becoming a collaborator. Faced with the growing realisation of what happens to those Jews sent 'East' Adam is forced to make a final tragic decision.
