I’ll Let It Be That Way

Norwegian title: Jeg lar det være slik

Marianne Teie

The Jewish violinist Joseph Schechter (1892-1943) was one of the six million victims of the Holocaust. Joseph was arrested in Bergen and his story is told through a modern-day woman in Norway. She takes up Joseph’s fate almost as a distraction from her own life, and writes his life into existence – the way she wishes it had been.
