Judith <Danish> (1940) is a play by Kjeld Abell.
Abstract
Judith does not kill because, in her conversation with Holofernes, a profound truth is revealed at once--we, with our cowardice, are the ones who create the tyrants. If we manage to change ourselves, they will disappear from the face of the earth.
