From the Back Cover

The Investigation is a dramatic re-construction of the Frankfurt War Crimes trials, based on the actual
evidence given. This testimony concerning Auschwitz and the atrocities which were enacted there has been
edited and extracted by Peter Weiss into a dramatic document that relies solely and completely on the facts
for its effectiveness. There is no artistic license, no manipulation of facts and figures, no rearrangement of
events for theatrical effect. Nameless witnesses stand and recall their appalling memories of Auschwitz,
allowing us to bear witness to their painful and painstaking search for truth and, ultimately, justice. What
emerges is a chastening and purging documentary of deeply moving power. The Investigation was premiered
on October 19th, 1965, in thirteen theatres in East and West Germany. At the same time, a produced reading
was given under Peter Brook at the Aldwych Theatre in London. As with Peter Weiss' The Marot/Sade,
productions have mushroomed throughout the world, effectively consolidating a remarkable literary
reputation.

The Investigation is a dramatic reconstruction of the Frankfurt War Crimes trials, based on the actual
evidence given. This testimony, concerning Auschwitz and the atrocities which were enacted there, has been
edited and extracted by Peter Weiss into a dramatic document that relies solely and completely on the facts
for its effectiveness.

There is no artistic license, no manipulation of facts and figures, no rearrangement of events for theatrical
effect. Nameless witnesses stand and recall their appalling memories of Auschwitz, allowing us to bear
witness to their painful and painstaking search for truth and, ultimately, justice. What emerges is a

Peter Weiss was born in 1916 and settled in Sweden before the outbreak of World War II. Apart from his
writing, he was also well known as a painter, theatrical and operatic director, and a film maker. His
magnificent play Marat/Sade, which is also available from Marion Boyars Publishers, established his
reputation among English-speakling audiences as a revolutionary dramatist, and has continued to be a
bestselling classic. He died in 1982.

Heart-Wrenching
By Brynn Vigneux
I am the kind of girl that picks up a book and doesn't stop till the last page. But this book is so emotionally
overwhelming that I had to stop every once in a while so I wasn't completely washed with sorrow. I would
recommend this book to anyone.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ (OR SEE) THIS PLAY
By David Keymer
I've wanted to direct Peter Weiss's The Investigation since I first read it in translation in the mid-sixties.
Weiss is better known for his brilliant Marat/Sade, a reinterpretation of the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat
by Charlotte Corday as staged by the marquis de Sade with the inmates of the mental asylum at Charenton.
It's an awesome play.

But The Investigation in its own way is as revolutionary as Marat/Sade. More germane to my concerns, it's
fairly easily adaptable to Readers' Theater. The play is presented as a series of eleven "Songs." (They aren't
sung songs, but rather prose -talked--songs. It's Brecht-Talk to call them "Songs".) Each song/scene details
some aspect of the atrocities committed upon the prisoners in the Nazi concentration camps during World
War II. Most, perhaps all, of the text of the play is taken verbatim from the transcripts of the Nuremberg
Trials (November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946), which tried German war criminals. If the parts in the play
were not double-cast, it would require twenty-eight actors (two of them women). The play is also too long: it
would have to be shortened.

The dialogue is chilling, made even the more so by being presented in so low a key. There's almost no
action: witnesses ascend and leave the witness stand, the prosecuting attorney and the defense counsel
wrangle before the judge. Some functionaries who collaborated in maintaining the camp system are called as
witnesses. All of them deny knowledge of what took place, even of what they could read in account books or
see from the windows of their workrooms. The accused are monsters, whether on the stand testifying or
simply acting the boor in their seats. The bulk of the witnesses are the former prisoners: a woman forced to
work as secretary for a Nazi boss who likes to beat prisoners to death, a political partisan subjected to torture
and himself beaten near to death, mothers separated from husbands and children, never to hear of them
again.

It's great theater. I'm considering it for a local Readers' Theater and I think it would work: the characters can
be doubled to keep the cast size in bounds, there's no set to worry about and there's enough overlap to permit
cutting. That's essential, because the play is quite long at 313 pages in print but the message cannot be
weakened.

I have two concerns. The first is the emotional charge the testimony delivers. It's far from cocktail theater.
People may experience feelings they'd rather not feel on an afternoon or evening entertainment junket. The
second is whether the play is dated now: will its moral urgency seem out of date when expended on an
injustice now sixty-five years past

An Overwhelming Experience
By Jackson Ward
I have not read this book yet but I did listen to the BBC radio version broadcast around the year 1967 I think.
I would have been thirteen or fourteen years old at that time. I was at home, alone, and came upon it by
chance, twiddling the dials looking for something interesting. The play caused me a concatenation of
emotions: horror, revulsion, disbelief and, it must be said, a kind of fascination I regard it as one of the
formative moments of my education as it lay before me, at a very impressionable age, the unimaginable
possibilities of human cruelty. No details spared, the facts about what happened at Auschwitz are presented
as evidence in a courtroom, giving it an immense understated power and resonance. Listeners/readers are left
to paint their own picture and draw their own conclusions. My conclusions are quite beyond words at this
time. But as the distance in time from these events lengthens beyond living memory, their reverberation only
becomes louder it seems to me, not least because of subsequent state-sanctioned holocausts, for example in
Mao's China or more recently in Congo, Yugoslavia, and Rwanda. "The Investigation" has been part of my
own investigation into human violence. To quote Krishnamurti:
"This is really the maim issue - what can you as a human being, living in this country, do when you see the
terrible disorder brought about by the army, the politicians and the priests, by individuals with their
selfishness, their arrogance, their brutality and their violence. (...) And we have to be serious because the
house is burning, not somebody else's house but our own house is on fire. We have to be very serious, not
only to put the fire out, but also to bring about a different kind of house that cannot catch fire at any time,
which means living a life of absolute inward order where there is no war, no fear. "
