In To Be an Actress, Nava Shean tells about her life on the stage: from childrens theater in Prague to traveling theater in the Czech countryside, to performances of prisoners in Terezin concentration camp, to Israels national theater, Munich State theater, and her one-woman shows. The common theme that runs through the memoir is Ms. Sheans passion for the theater and her dedication to acting despite excruciating circumstances. The memoir provides first-hand account of life in Terezin concentration camp and the incredible artistic activity under the shadow of the transports to the death camps. It also portrays the authors reconnection with her Jewish heritage against the background of her familys assimilation. Upon her arrival in Israel in 1948, Ms. Shean took part in the development of the Israeli theater, an alliance that continued into the 1980s and culminated in her one-woman show Requiem in Terezin.
