SUZANNE CHESSLER
Special to the Jewish News

here are five
courageous central
characters in
Lillian Groag's
play The White Rose, but
the character she finds most
interesting is not among
them.
The main characters, based
on actual college students
who became part of the
Resistance in 1942 Munich,
are Christians executed for
opposing Hitler's genocide.
The other character, their
arresting officer, is notable to
the playwright because of the
way he tries to convince the
students that oppression
would go away if people just
kept quiet.
All six will be seen March
14-April 7 in the next pro-
duction of the Performance
Network, under the direction
of David Wolber.
Morning matinees for stu-
dents are discounted in a part-
nership program with the
Jewish Federation of
Washtenaw County.

Playwright Lillian
Groag: '71- would
be wonderful to
dedicate the Ann
Arbor production
of The White Rose'
to Daniel Pearl."

Moment Of Choice

"The arresting officer is most of us,"
says Groag, whose father, an Austrian
Jew, escaped persecution by going to
Argentina. "It's certainly me.
"People will ask how the Germans
could have done what they did. But say
you're the butcher or the baker down

the street and see the
Gestapo taking an entire
Jewish family into a truck;
we'd all like to think we'd
have gone down the street
and [protested] when, in
fact, [just about] none of
us would.
"Great national
tragedies are usually ascribed to amor-
phous masses of people never taking
into account that said masses are com-
posed of individuals who, at one point
or another, must have had a moment
of choice."
Groag wrote The White Rose, which
takes its name from the anti-Nazi
