This article aims to examine the messages that Rebecca Lenkiewicz would like to give to the world in her recently unpublished work Wisconsin. In this work the author chooses as the subject the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima by America on 6 August 1945 that resulted in the death of approximately 140,000 people and led to a massive destruction. One of the main protagonists of the work is Jinno who managed to survive yet unrecognizable due to the horrible influence of the bomb. Strangely enough, Jinno tries to look for a remedy in America, the very country that caused all her troubles, to regain her health and her lost dreams since some people like her have been invited to America with the promise of treatment. Throughout the play, the reader/audience tries to find answers to two striking questions: Will the desperate young girl be able to regain what she has lost after years of the disaster, and be happy? What is the real reason behind America's invitation of these victims? The author brings this terrible period back on the stage with the play Wisconsin and draws attention to today ongoing massacres, notably in the Middle East.
