My Heart's in the Highlands is a play by William Saroyan, hailed
as one of America's Greatest Playwrights with Armenian
roots. The plot is about a struggling poet and his son who have
no source of income and aren't too worried about it. Johnny and
his father are removed from their home due to their failure to pay
rent. Just as Saroyan left us with his works, so too does Johnny's
father leave behind a collection of poems with the local grocer. Both
men allow a select few to marvel at their visions of the world...

Terezin was the final stop for more
than 30,000 Central and Western European Jews, most from
Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany who perished within its walls.
For thousands more it was only a way station on the journey to the
slave-labor and death camps. Yet it was also a place where many
prisoners became intensely aware of the meaning and power of art.
During those years in Terezin/Theresienstadt, a vigorous cultural
life emerged. Not all prisoners participated in the cultural life and
only a small fraction of the works produced there has survived.
