The play “Our Class” by contemporary Polish playwright Tadeusz Slobodzianek narrates the tale of a Polish town where people once were happy, and then began to kill each other. The narrative follows ten young persons from the town. We first meet them in 1928 and follow their individual journeys from the first grade to their last day, through the Soviet and German occupation, anarchy, and emigration — encapsulating the traumas of 20th-century Europe.
