Meet Pozdynyshev, an enigmatic

stranger in a smoky rail car,

weaving a tale of love, loss and

betrayal. Hear his sensuous

wife playing piano while his old

friend plays violin, the Kreutzer

Sonata between them, powerful

and evocative. Was this music

the soundtrack to their illicit

passion, or has Pozdynyshev

made a terrible mistake? Irish

playwright Nancy Harris has

transformed Tolstoy’s classic

novella, inspired by this oft-

played sonata, into an experience

you’ll not soon forget.

By Nancy HarrisBased upon the novella by Leo Tolstoy. A Pittsburgh Premiere!

While this play certainly dramatizes the specific history of the Jedwabne, Poland, our production takes the point of view that this pattern of neighbors-versus-neighbors occurs constantly throughout history: in the Balkans, Northern Ireland, and Africa…even the actions of the Steubenville, Ohio football players divides neighbors. To that end, director Aoife Spillane-Hinks reminded us of this Seamus Heaney poem.IThigh deep in sedge and marigolds,a neighbour laid his shadowon the stream, vouching

‘It’s poor as Lazarus, that ground,’and brushed away among the shaken leafage.

I lay where his lea slopedto meet our fallow,nested in moss and rushes,

my ear swallowing his fabulous, biblical dismissal,that tongue of chosen people.

When he would stand like thaton the other side, white-haired, swinging his blackthorn

at the marsh weeds, he prophesied above our scraggy acres,then turned away

towards his promised furrowson the hill, a wake of pollen drifting to our bank, next season’s tares.

IIFor days we would rehearseeach patriarchal dictum:Lazarus, the Pharoah, Solomon

and David and Goliath rolled magnificently, like loads of haytoo big for our small lanes,

or faltered on a rut--‘Your side of the house, I believe,hardly rule by the Book at all.’

His brain was a whitewashed kitchenhung with texts, swept tidyas the body o’ the kirk.

III

Then sometimes when the rosary was draggingmournfully on in the kitchenwe would hear his step round the gable

though not until after the litanywould the knock come to the doorand the casual whistle strike up

on the doorstep. ‘A right-looking night,’he might say, ‘I was dandering byand says I, I might as well call.’

But now I stand behind himin the dark yard, in the moan of prayers.He puts his hand in a pocket

or taps a little tune with the blackthornshyly, as if he were party to lovemaking or a stranger’s weeping.

Should I slip away, I wonder,or go up and touch his shoulderand talk about the weather

or the price of grass-seed?

- from Wintering Out (1972)

“Here there were no such big differences in opinion or whatever, because they were, in this little town, on good terms with the Poles. Depending on each other. Everyone was on a first-name basis, Janek, Icek…Life here was, I would say, somehow idyllic.”---an elderly Polish pharmacist from Jedwabne, quoted in Jan Gross’ book Neighbors.

Imagine your first grade class picture: the beaming smiles with missing teeth, the mussed-up hair, the mis-matched socks. There’s your best friend, and that kid who sat behind you and kicked your chair, and the playground bully you once feared. Now, visualize your high school yearbook. Turn to that that page where all the seniors put their baby pictures as well as the list of predictions for the future of their class. Did you go to your tenth class reunion, your twenty-fifth, your fortieth? There’s a desire and curiosity in these actions to look back, gazing at old photos, wondering how that shy girl or mischievous boy could evolve into the adult self?

Playwright Tadeusz Słobodzianek, like every artist, made a distinct choice in calling this play “Our Class” and giving each scene the title “Lesson.” Not that it is the job of theatre to provide a moral to every story. Instead, the play tracks the milestones of a generation of residents who had the unfortunate fate to enter their early twenties, the prime of their life, the year when 1,600 Jews---neighbors---were killed on July 10th, 1941. While many plays can claim to be ‘based on a true story’ or dramatize the life of a distinguished person, a play can never really present the scientific facts of an event.

Who did kill the Jews of Jedwabne and why? It would take more than Sherlock Holmes to answer that question as even the best international experts find difficulties sorting the facts in the testimonies of survivors. Playwright Słobodzianek asserts, “My intention was neither to be objective nor to please anyone in journalistic terms. I try to uncover the mechanism of tragedy affecting people who, in a certain time and place, found them-selves in a unique coincidence, as Neuger writes, of social and psychological relations, of history, ideology, and religion. And I try to ask about the human condition amidst this coincidence that has led to crime, revenge, and suffering.”

Investigations into the subject of the Jedwabne Jews have been fairly recent, as the sixtieth anniversary of the Jedwabne massacre challenged the inscription on the memorial grave marker. Princeton University professor Jan T. Gross’ 2000 book Neighbors, which relied on the assistance of Rabbi Jacob Baker among others, raised such a controversy that four years later, Princeton University Press published the book The Neighbors Respond: The Controversy over the Jedwabne Massacre in Poland. Jan Gross’ book asks essentially how did three generations of neighbors in Jedwabne live with the knowledge of the event? It’s the psychological questions as well as the historian’s research that makes his book so compelling.

So how could any play, even one that was the first Polish drama to be given the country’s prestigious Nike Literary Prize in 2010, answer the myriad questions about this horrific event? Theatre is artifice. Our Class makes no claim of presenting the truth---it raises questions instead of showing facts. It wonders, in a child-like way, how we, the audience, are similar to those kids that just happened to grow up in the wrong place and the wrong time?

Our Class Notes from the Dramaturg: Heather Helinsky

“One of the main effects of imposing ‘artistic elements’ or a conventional narrative form on history is that the past tends to be structured in terms of a beginning, a middle and end, as if an inexorable logic were driving elements toward their modern denouement.” - Luke Gibbons, from “Lies That Tell the Truth: Maeve, History and Irish Cinema”

PICT audiences should be familiar with the concept that an artistic interpretation can perhaps provide a deeper understanding than photojournalism. In last season’s The Pitmen Painters, characters found freedom in creat-ing artistic representations of the world they witnessed to convey deeper truths about their place in society as miners. It is no surprise, then, that the generation of Poles who came of age in the 1930’s and 40’s would have created art that expressed the difficult relationship between Polish and Jewish neighbors.

Tadeusz Rozewicz, a poet born in Warsaw in 1921, taught Polish in a high school run by the underground and fought, like the character of Zygmunt, in the Pol-ish Home Army. His brother Janusz, also a poet, was executed by the Gestapo in 1944. After the war, his

poetry aroused controversy with Communist and Catholic readers for dealing directly with the humanity and suffering of Polish Jews. In Rozewicz’ “The Plains”, the voice of the poet compares earthy images and direct, declarative statements. Even if his contemporaries were not ready for the brutality of his writing, he could not stay silent about the recent horrors that haunt his poetry.

“ I see them eating grass eating roots I hear the inhuman voice In the daylight I see a woman killed near the barbed wire her spread-open fingers from which bread has fallen under silent reflectors I see the empty square covered with lime white At night people heard wagons removing the dead.” (“The Plains, II”)

The Neighbors Respond : the Controversy over the Jedwabne Massacre in Poland edited by Antony Polonsky and Joanna B. Michlic

Kingsley: Voices from the Shadow: Gershon Kingsley (1922- ) reckoned with the Holocaust by setting to music 17 poems by differ-ent survivors and victims’ in his Voices from the Shadow. Kingsley is

known to many as an electronic music pioneer of the 1960s, but this touching 1997 work is performed on all acoustic instruments and is sometimes presented as a theatrical work.

Brundibár by Hans Krása (1899-1944) was an opera that was performed over fifty times by children at the “model” Terezín (Theresienstadt) concentration camp. Theater fans may also be interested to know that Tony Kushner adapted the new English libretto for Brundibár premiered on this recording. The CD also includes Lori Laitman’s I Never Saw Another Butterfly which features poems written by child prisoners at Terezín.

Pasatieri: Letter to Warsaw: Pola Braun (1910-1943) wrote heartbreakingly honest poems while in the Warsaw ghetto and, later, in the Majdanek concentration camp, where she was killed. One poem asks, “Warsaw, what shall I write you? / Warsaw in ruins. Warsaw covered in blood, / Will I ever again hear the rhythm of your streets?” Composer Thomas Pasatieri (1945- ) set her words to lush music, and on this recording they are sung by star soprano Jane Eaglen.

In addition, we have in our collection recordings by composers who were imprisoned in Terezín, a series called Entartete Musik (music labeled “degenerate” and suppressed by the Third Reich), and a number of other pieces in honor of victims of the Holocaust (such as Pittsburgh composer David Stock’s “A Little Miracle” or Steve Reich’s “Different Trains”). Please ask a librarian to show you more. Visit our website www.carnegielibrary.org or stop by any of our 20 locations throughout the city. (Pssst! You can request your selection to be sent to your closest library location!)

The Truth in Art by Heather Helinsky

Perhaps more well-known to American audiences is the poet Czeslaw Milosz (1911-2004), winner of the Nobel Prize in 1980. In his book The History of Polish Literature which tracks the lineage of Polish writing from the Middle Ages through the Romanti-cism of the 1800s with writers like Adam Mickiewicz. Due to the constant occupation of Poland by Russian and German regimes, the Polish intelligentsia bore the respon-sibility for the preservation of Polish language and culture. Literature, then, preserves the Polish national spirit under attack.

In the final chapter, “World War II and the First Twenty Years of People’s Poland,” Milosz explains that “when a poet is overwhelmed by strong emotions, his form tends to become more simple and more direct. This happened during the war to many poets who had formerly enveloped themselves in an intricate syntax.” Milosz called Rosewicz “a poet of chaos with a nostalgia for order. Around him and in himself he sees only broken fragments, a senseless rush.”

The poet Tadeusz Borowski (1922-1951) survived Auschwitz but committed suicide before he turned thirty, yet left a body of woks that speaks to the spirit of the characters in Our Class. In his poem “Names of the River”, Borowski wonders:

“It’s strange, like a dream, but somehow alive, painful to walk in evening lanes and not recognize familiar shapes and ordinary names, and forget the faces of friends to be only light and shadow, to have a lonely, mute body, and to be the wave of a strange river, passing on and on.”

Rozewicz, Milosz, and Borowski are three examples among many of a generation of artists writing immediately about events that scarred the entire nation. Poetry, fiction, painting, sculpture and theatre, we hope, provides a cathartic process that can help a society heal. This new play, does not seek to condemn, but to provide a conversation---a dialogue---so that we can all move forward.

Words from residents of Jedwabne, Poland

“We’ve been coming here for three years now and we light small candles. The girls I played with as a child and their parents are buried here. They all died in the barn.” ---an elderly woman from Jedwabne who was eight years old in 1941, the year of the massacre.

“There are no words for this. We used rakes to push the piles of corpses into a great ditch dug along the north wall of the barn. I recognized people I knew.” ---Leon Dziedzic from Przestrzek, July 11th, 2000.

“I could not say to myself when I got to the last page, ‘Well, I understand now,’ and I doubt that my readers will be able to either.” --Jan T. Gross, Introduction to Neighbors

The Polish Cultural Council is committed to enhancing the cultural diversity of our region by presenting the best of Polish arts and culture. As part of this mission, we are happy to welcome the Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre’s production of Our Class to our community. Originally produced as Nasza Klasa, this drama has received critical acclaim throughout Poland, has generated much discussion, and is the first Polish drama to be given the country’s prestigious Nike Literary Prize.

For over 800 years, Poland had been distinguished as a land that welcomed religious and ethnic diversity and the contributions of Poland’s vibrant Jewish community is an outstanding example of this tolerance and cultural pluralism. This tradition was severely tested by Poland’s partition by neighboring powers in the 18th century, by nationalism and by the brutal occupation by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

As the Polish Ambassador to United States, Ryszard Schnepf, stated at the opening of Our Class in Washington DC, “During the Nazi occupation, Poles found themselves the witnesses to the crimes of the Holocaust, and, although not all passed the test of humanity during the terrors of war and occupation, a great many Poles did.” Only in Nazi occupied Poland was harboring a Jew an immediate sentence of execution for the entire family. The fact that Poles represent that largest number of individuals recognized as Righteous Among The Nations of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial indicates that many Poles saved the lives of their Jewish countrymen despite being themselves regarded as a dehumanized workforce who would be executed for extending such assistance.

After over 60 years of censorship and communist suppression, Poland is today an indepen-dent and vibrant democracy, and - for the first time in generations - Poles are now freely able to discuss and examine their history, both positive and negative. Literature and the arts have served as catalysts in this important process. Such productions as Nasza Klasa have served as a prism through which this relatively recent history can be examined.

Although several scholars dispute the author’s interpretation of the historical facts, this theatrical work was inspired by the incident in Jedwabne, one of the most tragic events of Poland’s history. This fictional drama raises important questions as to issues of tolerance and of the responsibilities of one neighbor to another. Unfortunately, the theme of this tragedy is still being played out in many parts of the word. Whether it is sectarian violence in the Middle East, Kosovo, Northern Ireland or in occupied Poland during World War II, this work illustrates the need to examine core issues of humanity, of responsibility and of tolerance, which still remain issues of paramount importance in the today’s world.

Certainly, this dramatic work is controversial; however it is our conviction that literature and drama serve the vital role of lifting a mirror to society. Although the reflection may not always be flattering, art conveys truth.

On behalf of the Polish Cultural Council and the regional Polish community, we welcome this important work and extend our wish that such productions will help to increase understanding and dialogue among all classmates, neighbors and peoples.

“The first question I always ask in my interviews is if they had ever visited the house of a Jew. The answer is always the same: no, never. And when you don’t know your neighbor, when they are only the Other, a small gossip can grow into some-thing horrendously huge because people don’t know the reality of their neighbors’ lives.” -Agnieszka Arnold, documentary filmmaker, on Polish National Television in 2001
