Inese Zandere accepted the idea, giving a sketch of the continuation of the story, playwright Ance Muižniece started. “It just seems that the subject of the Holocaust can be told by showing death, horror, torment. The Jean Lipke Museum is a very bright and warm place. And Inese Zander has a brilliant sentence in the book that the pit that Lipke digs is not death, but for life. ”
