Once upon a time when pigs were swine..." is a fictitious love story that takes place during World War II's Holocaust. As an imagined tale, this piece captures the cultural diversity of the Jewish community during the German occupation in contrast with a satirical depiction of the SS authorities. It is a varied choreographic story that displays such attributes  as dynamic, entertaining and gloomy scenes as well as poetic and occasionally obscene moments. 

While aiming to respect historical accuracy, this work is created in memory of all of the victims of the Holocaust.
Even though this story is fictitious, one can't help but believe that this particular storyline could have occurred. 
Among the 11 million people who perished throughout the Holocaust, it is nearly impossible to truly determine or discount it.
