Even under the most severe circumstances, the production of culture and art continues. This article focuses on the theater sustained by inmates within ghettos and camps during Germany’s Nazi regime (1933–45) and examines the paradox of performance in ghettoized contexts. Further, this research draws attention to questions of repertoire and censorship, as well as connections between theater, identity, and privilege. Creative expression was significant for both performers and their audience in the struggle for survival
