THE ACCOMPLICES
a true story


by Bernard Weinraub

Playbill Article June 2008

Press Release


directed by Deborah LaVine

(director of A Shayna Maidel and Kindertransport)

produced by Simon Levy and Deborah Lawlor

 

President Roosevelt. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. The State Department. American Jews.

A conspiracy of silence and inaction.

The true story of Hillel Kook (aka Peter Bergson).

The FBI spied on him.

The State Department wanted him deported.

Jewish leaders tried to stop him.

Yet despite this intense and sometimes frenzied opposition, firebrand activist Peter Bergson succeeded in shattering the wall of silence that surrounded news about Hitler's annihilation of the Jews.

A moving and controversial play by veteran New York Times political reporter Bernard Weinraub.
