The song cycle is written for piano and a female singer, and its eleven songs take just under 30 minutes to perform. The content for the songs comes from research, archive material, books, and personal interviews. Some performances have been followed by a discussion or a panel of children of survivors. Others have been free standing or part of a larger program.
