What is the significance of Yad Vashem's Touching Memory Theater in preserving Holocaust history, especially given the dwindling number of survivors?

Yad Vashem's new Touching Memory Theater uses live performances of Holocaust survivor stories to connect audiences with the past. One play, "Bear and the Toy Underground," features Fred Lessing's story and his beloved bear, Bear, which he kept throughout his ordeal. Lessing, who died recently at 88, donated Bear to Yad Vashem.
