In October 1943, Esther Terner Raab and 300 other Jews Escaped from Sobibor, a Nazi death camp in eastern Poland. It was the biggest escape of WWII and the subject of Richard Rashke's book, ESCAPE FROM SOBIBOR.The book, and movie based on it, brought Esther many invitations to speak in public schools. Her moving story generated hundreds of letters from children expressing their love, concern and outrage. Those letters became the inspiration for the play DEAR ESTHER.
