The Mitzvah Project

Through a combination theater, history lesson and conversation in which actor, playwright and child of survivor, Roger Grunwald, will explore one of the most shocking aspects of the Jewish experience during the Second World War.

Through the story of Christoph Rosenberg, the one-person drama reveals the surprising history of tens of thousands of German men known as “mischlinge” — the derogatory term the Nazis used to characterize those descended from one or two Jewish grandparents — who served in Hitler’s army.
