Stumbling Stones: The John Rosenberg Story
2025-07-26 19:00 - 21:00 | 10th & Mass Studios, 1000 Massachusetts Street, Lawrence, KS, 66044, United States
Written and Performed by Jeff Sherr
Stumbling Stones is a one-person play chronicling the extraordinary life of civil rights attorney and Holocaust survivor John Rosenberg. From the terror of Kristallnacht to the coalfields of Appalachia, Rosenberg’s journey is one of resilience, justice, and relentless hope. Told in his own words—many drawn from interviews and archival material—the play spans continents and decades, tracing his escape from Nazi Germany, his work prosecuting the Ku Klux Klan, and his lifelong fight for the rights of the poor and disenfranchised in Kentucky. It’s a story that moves from courtroom drama to intimate memory, from the streets of Mississippi to the synagogue destroyed beside his childhood home.
