TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — TEODORA tells the story of Teodora Verbitskaya, as she is questioned by an official from the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in 1948. Teodora is seeking asylum in Nova Scotia, after surviving both the genocidal famine of the Holodomor, and the Holocaust.
Paintings by Verbitskaya's daughter, Nadia Werbitzky, provide an immersive background for the audience, as Verbitskaya recounts in song her struggle to survive.
