"The themes in this show remind me that humans are humans. We are all connected with a strong and powerfully beautiful force we far too often overlook. Svich's characters speak genuinely about all sides of humanity. The love, the pain, the violence, the truth...and in this day and age it is more important now than ever to focus on how we are all similar, as opposed to why we are so different."

"In the 1930s, my third cousin living in Poland took a family vacation to California. He was only 16 and met some girls who told him that he should come back again some time. A year later, he decided to go visit those girls again, alone. While he was in California, the nazis invaded Poland. My cousin's entire family was killed in concentration camps, all the while he was just by chance in California --completely safe. This compelling story of my ancestors reminds me that migration comes in many forms. Crossing seas can save your life. Even if you don't necessarily realize it at the time."
