Imre Madách Az ember tragédiája című drámája Ádám és Éva történetét követi, akik Lucifer vezetésével különböző történelmi korszakokban jelennek meg, hogy felfedezzék az emberiség sorsát. A 15 jelenetből álló mű Ádám látomásait mutatja be, amelyekben a történelem kulcsfontosságú pillanataiban vesz részt, miközben kétségbeesés és remény között ingadozik. A jelenetek között megtalálható az ókori Egyiptom, a görög-római kor, a francia forradalom, és egy jégkorszaki jövő, amelyben az emberiség pusztulás szélén áll. A dráma végül a remény és a hit témájához tér vissza, amikor Ádám rájön, hogy a küzdelem önmagában is cél lehet.

When Taffy Brodesser-Akner became a writer, Mr. Lindenblatt, the father of one of her oldest friends, began asking to tell his story of survival during the Holocaust in one of the magazines or newspapers she wrote for. He took pride in telling his story, in making sure he fulfilled what he felt was the obligation of all Holocaust survivors, which was to remind the world what had happened to the Jews.
His daughter Ilana knew it was a long shot but felt obligated to pass on the request — it was her father, after all. Taffy declined because after a life hearing about the Holocaust, she said, she was “all Holocausted out.”
But, years later, when she learned of Mr. Lindenblatt’s imminent passing, Taffy asked herself what would become of stories like his if the generation of hers that was supposed to inherit them had taken the privilege that came with another generation’s survival and decided not to listen?
So here it is, an old Jewish story about the Holocaust and a man who somehow survived the pernicious, organized and intentional genocide of the Jews. But right behind it, just two generations later, is another story, one about the children and grandchildren who have been so malformed by the stories that are their lineage that some of them made just as eager work of running from it, only to find themselves, same as anything you run from, having to deal with it anyway.
