Synopsis
On a stage somewhere stands a lowly poet, sorting out the modes by which he is still mourning his father, and three turtles awarded to the poet as a boy by his father for atoning one Yom Kippur long long ago. Now as history & guilt, and The History of Guilt, intermingle on a stage somewhere, the poet must wrestle with the extent to which he and three turtles are responsible for the events that unfolded at Treblinka.
