Type	Cabaret performance
AKA	The Second Czech Cabaret (ii.český kabaret)

The cabaret Laugh with Us was written and performed by Czech Jews in the Terezín ghetto in the spring and summer of 1944, just a few months before mass transports sent two-thirds of the ghetto's population to Auschwitz. The cabaret, set in a postwar Prague identical to the authors' beloved Prague of the 1930s, featured a comic duo who staged imagined meetings with their friends from Terezín in the theatres and music halls of the city, celebrating their artistic success. 

The script came to light during Dr Lisa Peschel's research in the Czech Republic in 2005, thanks to two survivors  who remained in the ghetto until the liberation in May 1945.  Dancer Hana Lojínová (neé Ledererová) preserved a complete script (without music) from June 1944.  Actor, co-author and composer Felix Porges (after the war, Prokeš), saved an earlier version of the script (April 1944) and all the original sheet music, which was preserved after his death by his son Zdeněk Prokeš.
