About this listen

 In this short story from Nathan Englander's collection For the Relief of Unbearable Urges, a group of World War II-era Hasids, mistakenly put on a circus train instead of a transport to a death camp, are assumed to be acrobats. They perform a clumsy act, which their Nazi audience applauds as a parody of "Jewish ballet".©1999 Nathan Englander (P)2007 Random House Inc. Random House Audio, a division of Random House Inc.
