New York Post Page 6 Article on upcoming Triad Show (Feb. 25th 2007)

February 25, 2007 -- THE Jewish Theater of New York, which incurred the wrath of Howard Stern last year after daughter Emily appeared nude in one of its plays, is in hot water again. The Polish Embassy is up in arms over its upcoming "Last Jew in Europe," Tuvia Tenenbom's tragicomedy about "closet Jews living in a present-day Poland where anti-Semitism is rampant and calls to send Jews to gas chambers go unchallenged." The embassy says the play could turn American Jews against the Poles and claims that some of the anti-Semitic graffiti photographed in Lodz to publicize the production might have been created by theater staffers. Tenenbom, whose play opens March 4, calls the charges "wholly insulting and quite unproductive . . . the most horrific of anti-Semitic slurs can be seen today in almost every street in Lodz." He adds that when one major Lodz festival presents Jewish theater, it "carefully chooses Jewish shows that depict Jews as a nebbish bunch of idiots."
