“Irena’s Vow” Soars


"Irena's Vow" is an extraordinary Broadway play that has a special appeal to Catholics and Jews. It is the real-life story of a Polish Catholic housekeeper, Irena Gut Opdyke, who hid twelve Jewish refugees in the house of a German major during the Holocaust.

 

There is no greater testimony to the faith than this heroic venture. It was Irena's deep love for Catholicism that allowed her to demonstrate her love to these Jewish men and women in need.

Catholics who go to this play will not only be moved by this riveting account, they will help support the work of all those wonderful persons associated with this dramatic production.

"Irena's Vow" is playing at the Walter Kerr Theatre, 219 West 48th Street, New York City. It is 90 minutes long with no intermissions.
