Dear Esther by Richard Rashke

Galloway, N.J. – Esther Terner Raab’s story of escaping a Nazi death camp in eastern Poland and surviving the Holocaust touched the hearts and minds of many when she first shared it in 1987.

Since then, she’s been featured in a book, “Escape from Sobibor,” a television movie and now a play inspired by the real letters she received from students learning about the Holocaust.  “Dear Esther” by Richard Rashke will return to Stockton University’s Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, Nov. 19. 

The play 'Dear Esther' tells the story of Holocaust survivor Esther Raab who escape from the Nazi death camp Sobibor in Poland.
