Janka is a story of the journey of Janka Festinger through two of history's most notorious places. The death camp at Auschwitz and the concentration camp at Dachau to her transition to the shores of the United States, and the embrace of the American dream. Transcribed from her sixty-page handwritten letter by her son and playwright Oscar Speace, it describes the events of the Nazis' interment of Romanian Jews in 1944.

Janka is portrayed by renowned actress Janice Noga, a Hanford native and daughter-in-law to Janka.
