The Television Theatre performance made in the framework of the Contemporary TV Studio, based on the play by a Serbian playwright, Djordje Lebović. It tells the story of a former Auschwitz-Birkenau prisoner who worked in the camp’s brothel as a prostitute. They play is based on the question of survival in the conditions of war and Holocaust. It also shows the conspiracy of silence and stigmatization, both of the victims as well as the subject of sexual crime in the post-war realities. Because of the controversy resulting from the theme of the performance and casting Halina Mikołajska, who was openly supporting the anti-communist opposition at the time, the performance has never been broadcast on television.
