The Supreme Measure

In the play “The Supreme Measure,” an historically accurate fact is discussed: in 1941, in besieged Leningrad, railway workers were sentenced to death for stealing food in order to help people who risked their lives for others. Arro convincingly proves that there exists a higher justice than the state law invented by people.
