“Youth’s Hostels, or How to Travel in a Group on a Shoe String Budget”
By Regine Dubono is a journal about the Pegasus Players 1961 performing tour of 16 German Universities.
The troupe performed two plays by German American playwright Nomi Rubel. (The Whip and The Lost Voice). The trip was motivated by the author’s desire to go back to her beloved birth country but also to touch base with the German youth, in an effort to start a dialogue and hopefully make a difference. (One could say Nomi Rubel was a self appointed ambassador to Germany.)
Her goal was to try to educate young people about the recent events of World War Two, so that history may not repeat itself. Her attitude was one of re-conciliation, of understanding what had happened so that it might be prevented in the future, and it was her gift for forgiveness, that won her many friendships among the German youth. And she gave of her friendship freely. For many years after, she was invited by her German friends to spend her summers there, making speeches and holding discussions and publishing her autobiography in Germany.
