But when Wanda passed away in 1998, Clare began an unexpected journey exploring their shared and individual histories. Both Wanda (née Salomea Wander) and Jan (originally Jakub Djament) were Holocaust survivors who raised their children as Catholic in post-WWII Poland. This is the story of Clare’s search to uncover her family’s past and understand the legacy of her Grandparent’s survival.-About Clare:A dramaturg, playwright, and producer Clare Drobot is currently the Co-Artistic Director at City Theatre in Pittsburgh working alongside fellow Co-ADs Marc Masterson and Monteze Freeland.
