SWING
Introduction
Summary: Instead of Titanic or the present,
Jack and Rose are placed in 1933, in Nazi Germany. Jack is a Swing kid, the
name of a group of young people that resisted the Nazi Regime. They love Swing
Music and American fashion of the 1920’s. They would meet in dance halls. Rose
is a young girl whose late father just happened to be Jewish and is in danger
of being evicted from not only her house, but her city as well. This is their
story of how love can conquer hate. This story is dedicated to all those that died
in the holocaust and to the victims of the attacks of September 11th,
2001. May neither tragedy be forgotten.
