ABOUT “THE MIRACLE”
The Miracle in the Warsaw Ghetto was first produced in New York in October of 1944, barely 18 months after the actual Warsaw Ghetto uprising which began Erev-Peysekh on April 19, 1943, as the Nazis were planning to execute the final liquidation of the Warsaw Jewish quarter. After years of living in horrendous conditions, the remaining Jews, who were poorly armed and completely surrounded, held the German forces at bay for 4 weeks.
The production starred Jacob Ben-Ami and featured a sound-scape by Sholem Secunda, composer of Bay Mir Bistu Sheyn. It ran for 20 weeks in New York and then toured to Chicago and Milwaukee. As the war was still in progress, Leyvick did not have access to accurate historical records of what occurred behind the ghetto walls. He had to rely on accounts which the Polish underground were reporting to the Allies.
