Leah Goldberg, Aharon Megged, and Ben Zion Tomer were born in Eastern Europe and settled in British Palestine before World War II. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoshua Sobol and Motti Lerner were born in British Palestine and Israel respectively. Written some forty years after the events, their plays question the conventional notion of heroism, of good and evil, and the more ambiguous moral issues of collaboration and the failure to resist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Taub\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of Liberal Studies at Purchase College, SUNY.
