ESCAPE
Place -Dr. Mamalian's office
Jacobi
Time, 1968
M. What brings you to a psychiatrist, Jacobi
J. My history. I was the only survivor of genocide as a family hid me during the war.
M. I can relate.
J. On the plane ride to New York City a lady stared at me with such hatred. I thought only
victims were on that plane. Later I saw that woman in Central Park who told me to remove
my shoes from the bench. My kind was not wanted.
M. You must have been terrified.
J. I graduated N.Y.U. and soon joined the Justice Department and through the files relocated
this woman and filed charges since she was a Nazi; they were unable to send her back. What
would she have become, a munitions maker in a factory or a Stasi spy.
M. Sometimes we cannot escape our history or our destiny or D.N. A.
J. I marched with Dr. King in Washington, D.C.
M. Are you happy?
J. I hunt for fascists in my daily nightmares.
M. Your war is not over.
J. Maybe I should join the security forces all over the world.
M. Where is security young man?
J. That's why I am here.
M. Me too. I hope, Jacobi you will find out. Please keep in touch and let me know.
The end.
