Johanna Meier Bücher

Set against the backdrop of 1932, the story follows Josef Meier, who brings a German passion play to the U.S. amid Germany's political turmoil. Determined to establish a lasting presence, he translates the play into English and recruits American actors. As he tours the country, he seeks a permanent venue, ultimately discovering a stunning site in Spearfish, South Dakota. By 1939, an amphitheater is built, marking the inception of the Black Hills Passion Play of America, a testament to Meier's vision and resilience.
