Critical Comments on A Journey to Kreisau

"A Journey to Kreisau is an impressively authentic piece as it conveys the image of Helmuth James von Moltke, a sovereign personality in the midst of Nazi terror, as well as of the Kreisau Circle of friends who came together to make plans for a regenerated Germany" - Klemens von Klemperer (L. Clark Seelye Professor of History, emeritus, Smith College and author: German Resistance Against Hitler)

"Marc Smith brings to artistic life a little known episode of moral heroism during the savage era of Nazism, an episode which deserves greater attention in the western world. He captures, with splendid power, the determination, the moral clarity, the love, and the true patriotism of a dedicated group of extraordinarily moral heroes at a time of unspeakable terror. I can only hope that Smith's bold and memorable work finds the international audience it deserves."- Larry Lowenthal (Executive Director, American Jewish Committee, New England Region).

"The quick tempo of the writing, the animated readings by the actors, and the interplay between characters caught in the midst of desperate times make for a compelling experience." - Michael Joyce (German teacher, Westford Academy)

“I took a copy of the play on the plane with me. Could not put it down until the last page and I am not one for reading plays. After being in Kreisau and seeing with my own eyes, I revisited the play and learned even more. Congratulations on a job well done and one that needed to be done.” –Arnold Reisman, Ph.D. (Retired Professor, Case Western Reserve University, and author of Turkey’s Modernization: Refugees from Nazism and Ataturk’s Vision).
