For all visitors, here's the story of the week! It's a ten-minute play!

SING WITH ME

Setting: An abandoned house in The Lodz Ghetto

Time: 1942

Characters:

BASTIAN ZIMMERMAN: A Gestapo officer

SENKA SLAZAK: A mentally-challenged Polish Jew

(The Holocaust. In Poland, many Jews were held hostage in ghettos. People in the Lodz Ghetto were deported to Chelmno, an extermination camp. BASTIAN, a Gestapo officer in his early twenties, has discovered SENKA dancing and singing in an abandoned house. Aware of how much danger she’s putting herself in, BASTIAN tries to make her stop)

SENKA: (dancing) Sometimes I like to dance, sometimes I like to sing, I am like a bird...

BASTIAN: (tries to grab her) Stop it! Stop dancing!

SENKA: (spins behind BASTIAN) Like a bird...

BASTIAN: (turns around) You need to be quiet

SENKA: Spreading it’s wings! I want to fly away...

BASTIAN: Do you know where we are?

SENKA: Fly away...

BASTIAN: Ma’am, would you please stop?

SENKA: From here...

BASTIAN: I really don’t want to have to hurt you–

SENKA: Like a bird, like a bird, like a–

BASTIAN: SHUT UP! (tackles SENKA to the ground and puts his pistol to her head. SENKA stops abruptly. BASTIAN whispers in her ear) Listen, I don’t want to do this, but you’ll be quiet if you want to live.

SENKA: (begins to cry) Why are you being so mean? You’re hurting my feelings.

BASTIAN: You think I’m mean? You should see the SS officers in Auschwitz. They’d hurt more than your feelings.

SENKA: (pause) What’s your name?

BASTIAN: (sees she’s not putting up a fight, so he releases her but keeps the gun pointed at her) Bastian. Bastian Zimmerman.

SENKA: That’s a nice name. Bastian.

BASTIAN: You’re lying.

SENKA: Would I lie about something like that?

BASTIAN: (taken aback. He puts the pistol away) I wouldn’t know, but I’ll take your word for it. What’s your name and how old are you?

SENKA: My name is Senka Slazak and I am twenty (holds up two fingers with one hand and makes an “O” with the other) You?

BASTIAN: Same age. (Takes a closer look at SENKA. Her long hair hasn’t been combed and she is dressed like a teenage schoolgirl with a shawl on her shoulders) Are you a Jew?

SENKA: (nods) Yes. Are you?

BASTIAN: (stares) Are you serious?

SENKA: Oh, I forget. You’re one of Them. Oh course you’re not a Jew! (Giggles) Silly me! Silly, silly Senka! (Continues giggling like a little girl) (Stops giggling and looks into his eyes) But you don’t want to be one of Them, do you?

BASTIAN: (taken aback) I, um, well I–

SENKA: You have kind eyes and your voice isn’t...mean like Theirs. You’re not like Them. You’ve got a good heart. I can tell.

BASTIAN: (tries to keep his composure) You’re the strangest Jew I’ve ever met.

(Silence. SENKA begins skipping around the room and waving her arms around. BASTIAN follows her)

BASTIAN: Why are you like this? Is it the war? Were you born like this? Explain yourself.

SENKA: (stops dancing. She looks around) When I was a little girl, Mama always told me I was something special. Even though it wasn’t until I was fourteen (holds up one finger with one hand and four fingers with the other) that I had to alphabet memorized. She said I’m something special even though people talked to me like I was five (holds all five fingers with one hand) Ada, the best big sister in the world, used to joke that I was dropped on my head when I was a baby. (Chuckles) One time someone said I was, uh, what’s that word that begins with an R and has the word, “Tart” like the dessert, but it has the “ed” at the end? Retarted?

BASTIAN: (ponders) You mean...(grimaces) retarded?

SENKA: (face lights up. She claps) Yeah, that’s the one! Sounds kind of mean, but maybe he was talking about the dessert. We used to have tarts after dinner. Mama gave me one if I was good. Ada used to sneak one for me. Anyway, whenever someone called me

And now for the short story of the day! Enjoy!

Scarlet Rose

Ms. Scarlet Rose of Blossom County, South Carolina, was a woman of wit and grace. She was a single woman who owned a large plantation. However, unlike her fellow Southerners, Scarlet Rose was not corrupted by greed. She opened her home to Confederate soldiers who needed food, medicine or rest. She could beguile men with her beauty, leaving them transfixed and their judgment undermined.
This Southern Belle had a secret which many would find traitorous. Some say it was a hoax concocted by the rebel fighters, but the story was that Scarlet Rose was a secret abolitionist smuggling slaves in the Underground Railroad.
There were signs of this theory. Scarlet Rose had a very small amount of slaves working on her plantation, and unlike the other slave owners Scarlet Rose treated them like people, not slaves. Some of the soldiers she cared for said she let her slaves eat at her dinner table, gave them blanket, even gave them breaks!
The incident that raised eyebrows was the last slaves she bought. Tariro, Kagiso and Nomusa, three little girls from South Africa, were quavering so hard you could hear their teeth chatter. They were sisters and dreaded being separated. Scarlet Rose fought everyone tooth and nail until she was able to buy all three of them. Interestingly enough, her slave and closest friend, Tinashe, was the girls’ mother, so it was quite a reunion.
Weeks later, Tinashe and her daughters vanished and Scarlet Rose was arrested and charged with treachery. It was possible that Scarlet Rose smuggled them in the Underground Railroad, as well.
The trial of Scarlet Rose was quite a show. Despite her gaunt face, she did not flail her arms or cry out as someone of the weaker sex was expected to do. She was adamant that she had no need to confess her crimes. There was an epic disputation between Scarlet Rose and the prosecutor. His face was hot with rage over her reluctance to cooperate. Her reasons for her actions were unintelligible to many and it seemed Scarlet Rose intended to keep it that way. She showed no penitence for defying authority.
Scarlet Rose was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. When asked if she had anything to say for herself, Scarlet Rose looked to the citizens of Blossom Country and said, “Excuse me, gentlemen, I have to die now.”
As she was led to the gallows, the community reverend approached her and begged her to surrender, to admit the evil of her deeds. “Only then can you purge your sins and possibly save yourself,” he said. Scarlet Rose looked him straight in the eye and said, “And you call yourself a man of God with the way you treat your slaves?”
With that Scarlet Rose was hung. Three days later, a terrible earthquake decimated the once beautiful town of Blossom County.
It seemed Scarlet Rose had gotten the last word after all...

I love you! Not that way, but you know wat I mean. Jimmy CArter was the worst, says my mom, and Nixon was just rotten. I do feel better now. I know, I was saying to God, why would you do this? My mom says it's a test, so we have to be strong. Lol about the wife. She is an anti-American, no doubt. The kids I feel sorry for. Barack Hussein Obama is just a..........I don't know. He just is not the right peep for us. I was hoping that he would be assasinated, and I still kinda do, but then I thought about God again. B.O, lol, kills babies. If we kill him, is it the same? I don't know. I will try to send Senator MCCAin a note of praise soon. Just remember Amy, God first. ANd also, Body Odor isn't our leader. So we won't follow him. DON'T BE A SHEEP! lol
