Vengeance
His 1907 drama God of Vengeance (Got fun nekome) is about a Jewish brothel owner who attempts to become respectable by commissioning a Torah scroll and marrying off his daughter to a yeshiva student. Set in a brothel, the play includes Jewish prostitutes, a lesbian scene, and the hurling of a Torah across the stage. In 1923, it was translated into English, and staged on Broadway at the Apollo Theatre on West 42nd Street with a cast that included the acclaimed Jewish immigrant actor Rudolph Schildkraut. Its run was cut short after six weeks when the entire cast, along with producer Harry Weinberger, and one of the owners of the theater, were indicted – and eventually convicted – on charges of obscenity; Weinberger, who was also a prominent attorney, represented the group at the trial. After a protracted battle by Weinberger, the conviction was successfully appealed. In Europe, the play was popular enough to be translated into German, Russian, Polish, Hebrew, Italian, Czech and Norwegian.

Indecent, a play written by Paula Vogel, tells of those events and the impact of God of Vengeance. It opened at the Cort Theater on Broadway in April, 2017, directed by Rebecca Taichman.

= HMS Beagle replica = On 31 December 2011, the Nao Victoria Museum in Punta Arenas, Chile, announced that the first full-scale replica of HMS Beagle would be built. Construction began on 1 November 2012, using as a guide Karl Heinz Marquardt's book HMS Beagle: Survey Ship Extraordinary. The vessel was built with Nothofagus dombeyi timber from the local rainforest. In 2013, the Chilean national press started to take an interest in the work in progress. After four years of construction, the vessel was completed.
