I hope this is the right forum for this question -- if not, I apologize in advance.
I am trying to track down a play written just after WW2 by a Lutheran pastor, that starts by asking the question "Who Knew?" about the holocaust. All of the actors deny it, even asking the audience members as they range up and down the aisles. Eventually, the cast admits that they all knew, and then begin to ask the question of whose fault it was.
They come to the conclusion that it was God's fault, and put God on trial for the holocaust, and of course declare Him guilty. The sentence is roughly as follows: He must live life on this earth as a Jew, He must know what it is like to lose His son, etc., etc. -- you get the point.
Does anyone have any more solid information about this play?
Thanks for any help you can give!
