Reviews of The Westerbork Serenade:
also see:www.westerborkserenade.com

"Natale conveys with economy and depth a gripping, true life story and the people caught up in it...he is actor enough to carry it alone"
Misha Berson, Seattle Times 1/18/08

"Natale transforms the story of Westerbork into a universal meditation on art sacrifice and survival...His deep personal investment in the material, along with obvious talent, gives Westerbork an undeniable moral force."
Richard Morin, Seattle Weekly, 1/16-22/08

"Natale is an extremely versatile performer...With its jaunty song and dance numbers, gleaned from the Westerbork repertoire, Natale's show is particularly unnerving."
Joe Adcock, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 1/15/08

"The Westerbork Serenade [is] not only...a Holocaust story about Jews and Nazis, but a cautionary tale on the destructiveness of prejudice and racism"
Peter A. Klein, JT News 1/11/08


WHAT IS IT: The Westerbork Serenade (by David Natale) is the true story of Jewish cabaret performers held by the Nazis in the Dutch transit camp, Westerbork. From 1942-1944 some of the greatest stars of Berlin performed in reviews at Westerbork. Being in the show delayed their transport to the eastern death camps. But in the end, most were killed. The show contains period songs, accounts and sketches. The Westerbork Serenade is the title of an acerbic song about camp life written by the Dutch singing duo, Johnny & Jones in 1944, just months before their deportation and death in Auschwitz.
