Summary

In Rechnitz, a chorus of messengers reports on the circumstances of the massacre of 180 Jews, an actual historical event that took place near the Austrian/Hungarian border town of Rechnitz. The author brings us a comedy of economics, where the babble and media spin of spectators leave small investors alienated.
