  Jura Soyfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jura Soyfer was the son of the industrialist Vladimir Soyfer and his wife Lyuboc.
Soyfer kept the original satire of the clergy and court society, but his political criticism of society is far more radical.
Soyfer's plays were published as a collection for the first time in 1974 thanks to the work of members of the organisation of exiled Austrians in England, "Young Austria".

The mountains give their name to the Jura département of France, and in 1979 a Jura canton was established in Switzerland, formed from the French-speaking areas of Berne.
The forested mountains extend from the Franche-Comté region in France in a northeasterly direction through Switzerland, crossing the cantons of Vaud, Neuchâtel, Jura, Solothurn, Basel, and Aargau, to the River Rhine.
In the French département of Jura, along the Swiss border, the Regional Natural Park of the High Jura also attracts tourists to the area.

Playwright Jura Soyfer and composer Herbert Zipper, active in Viennese antifascist cabaret, were arrested by the Gestapo after the German-Austrian Anschluss of 1938.
Soyfer and Zipper wrote Dachau Song in September 1938 as an ironic response to the motto "Arbeit Macht Frei" (Work Makes Freedom) inscribed on the gate at the entrance to the camp.
Both Soyfer and Zipper believed that exercising the intellect helped preserve a prisoner's self-respect in the face of constant humiliation.

 Jura Soyfer - Art History Online Reference and Guide
In this respect Soyfer approaches Bertolt Brecht's "epic theatre ".
He remained in freedom for only 26 days, however: on February 13 1938 he was arrested as he tried to cross the border to Switzerland, and transported to Dachau concentration camp.
The way the play sees events from the point of view of the lower classes makes it a classic piece of Austrian popular theatre (Volkstheater); it becomes clear that the lower classes of society are actually superior to the upper classes, or at least should be.
