*The Star on My Heart* is an original play based on Holocaust survivor Inge
Auerbacher's memoirs, adapted and directed by Angela Miloro-Hansen. In 2013
Angela won OCTA awards for a show she directed at Geauga Lyric Theater
called *I Never Saw Another Butterfly*, by Celeste Raspanti. It told the
story of the children imprisoned in the Theresienstadt (Terezin)
concentration camp near Prague. Of fifteen thousand children who passed
through Terezin, it is believed that approximately one hundred survived.

Then GLTG Executive director Chris Cipriani made contact with one of these
child survivors, Inge Auerbacher.

Inge inspired the cast with a telephone conversation on opening night and a
relationship with Dr. Auerbacher evolved.  Inge expressed a desire to have
her story staged, and Angela Miloro-Hansen was asked to author the
script.  Writer/Director
Miloro-Hansen has been active in theater since 1999, and is a 2010 Hiram
College graduate. She directs, teaches and acts on a regular basis and
serves as the Educational Outreach Coordinator for Geauga Lyric Theater in
Chardon, Ohio. Chris Cipriani, now Director of Programming at Shore
Cultural Centre in Euclid, is serving as the project and educational
outreach coordinator.

After two years of collaboration, *The Star on My Heart* premiered in
November 2015. It tells of Inge's experiences during the war in Terezin,
and her survival and recovery in New York City, where she still lives today.

After liberation, Inge came to America and spent two years in a
tuberculosis hospital. She began high school with only one year of
schooling under her belt, and graduated in three years. Inge worked as a
chemist for 38 years. She now travels and speaks on the topics of
tolerance, the Holocaust and human rights.
