...since US corporations make up only 2 or 3 per cent of the South African GNP, it would be more effective to improve working conditions for non-whites employed by these corporations (.4 per cent of the non-white work force). Besides ignoring the fact that low wages and inhuman work conditions are only one small aspect of apartheid, this argument rests on a strange logic that rejects one strategy because it manipulates such a small wedge of the pie, then embraces another which involves a wedge that is even smaller by a factor of about six.

As one character says on her way to the gas chamber, "It's so hard to remember that we're individual people." Holocaust attaches human faces to the inhuman statistics of mass murder. It envelops the audience in grief and suffering, and long after the show has ended, the pain does not easily go away...
