When time stood still - physical theatre performed to poem by Michael Rosen called 'Oscar and Rachel in the Cattle Truck' imagining their journey to Auschwitz
What did you think, as you and Rachel sat on the floor of the cattle truck as it left Paris? Did you think of the watches and clocks you had mended ? Did you think of the tiny springs and wheels? You with your magnifying glass in your eye poring over the works so that a Monsieur or a Madame could tell the time, correct to the exact second? Did you think of the smell of the sea...

Stand Strong, Stand Together   When all hope is demolished. And you feel like giving up. Stand Strong, Stand Together!   When everything you do, Fells like it’s not good enough, And the walls feel like they’re tumbling down.

Never Again read by Michael Rosen
Never again We say, “Never again.”  But when people with power are pointing in one direction when many minds are pointing in that direction when the guns and bombs are pointing in that direction too, it can happen again. It does happen again. It has happened again. It can be furious and chaotic. It can be calm and orderly. It can start with laws. It can start without them. The people who do it ...
