The Accomplices

The New Group presents the world premiere of The Accomplices by Bernard Weinraub, directed by Ian Morgan.

Hillel Kook arrives in the United States at the beginning of World War II, fresh from the underground resistance to the British in Palestine. Under the alias Peter Bergson, he leads a small group of activists seeking aid for the rescue of Jews in Europe. Bergson is shocked to find his efforts blocked by both the Roosevelt administration and the Jewish establishment. Undaunted, Bergson and his colleagues organize a bold campaign in a desperate race against time and fear of reprisal. Based on actual events, Bernard Weinraub’s new play The Accomplices is the true story of one man’s fight on American soil to shatter a conspiracy of silence and inaction.
