• Daxiat : This may sound strange coming from me, but I think your husband, Lucas Steiner, was wrong to leave France. The new anti-Israelite theater laws apply to spectators and profiteers. But your husband, Mme. Steiner, was a gem. He was the only Israelite theater director...

  Marion Steiner : You may say 'Jewish'.

  Daxiat : Yes. He was the only one to be a leader, stage director and an artist. You see, the Germans are deeply attached to culture. They don't want talented artists to leave France.

• Daxiat : I am a paradox. I adore the theater. I live for it, and yet, I'm hated by most theater people.
