Summary:

Inge grows up in a social democratic house. In 1933, the mother of the 10-year-old opens that she is Jewish. Inge slowly realizes what that will mean to her."Starting today, your name is Sara!' says a police officer in 1938 to the 16-year-old Inge and stamps a J in her passport - 'J' for Jew. From now on everything changes in the life of the self-confident Berliner.Inge and her mother stay in Berlin - like all Jews they are exposed to ostracism and persecution by the Nazis. Otto Weist, the owner of a workshop for the blind, places Inge, in defiance of all laws, in his office. But after the deportations began in 1941, Inge and her mother are forced to 'go underground'.The piece based on the autobiographical book <i>I Wore the Yellow Star</i> by <i>Inge Deutschkron</i> tells in 30 pictures, songs and music scenes of the fear of the persecuted, of the people who helped Inge and her mother and became 'silent heroes' for her, from a lost childhood and not least from the fighting courage of a young girl who does not give up.<i>From Today You Are Called Sara</i> was staged at the GRIPS Theater Berlin to 350 sold-out performances and is still in the repertoire. More than 120,000 theatre-goers have seen the piece since its premiere in 1989 alone in Berlin, it has been staged by 42 theatres so far. Inge Deutschkron returns to Berlin after many years of journalistic work in Tel Aviv, much encouraged by her experiences with the play From Now On You Are Called Sara.
