The play “Whistle- my mother was Mengeles secretary” manages to excite a new and young audience at Zvolens’ Municipal theater.
Hadar Galeron continues to conquer stages around the world with the play “Whistle”.
The show was followed by a Q&A session with actress and playwright Hadar Galron.
The discussion was relevant to today , discussing long term impacts on survivors of war… how ’emotional baggage’ goes to 2nd and even 3rd generation of survivors , and finally ended on a tone of how important it is to remember that everything we say and do can effect others.
“If there is something I want you to take from this show” Hadar ended “it’s to be brave enough to say sorry if you know you have hurt someone close.”

About the Play:
WHISTLE- My Mother Was Mengele’s Secretary
WHISTLE is an autobiographical monodrama that gives voice to the pain of second-generation Holocaust survivors, and exposes the invisible, yet deep, wounds of the Holocaust, through a human story about a woman fighting for her natural right to rejoice, live, love.
WHISTLE narrates Tami’s journey, a 2nd-generation Holocaust survivor who, at 45, realizes she is emotionally numb, devoid of genuine love she craved her entire life. A chance encounter sparks hope for a meaningful existence, raising questions about seeking approval, her capacity to love, and the barriers within.
WHISTLE is an adaptation of the life story of Jacob Buchan, whose
mother was Mengele’s Jewish secretary….
WHISTLE was translated into 8 languages, participated in international festivals in several countries in Europe and the US, and awarded international prestigious prizes.
