Remember The Children - I Never Saw Another Butterfly
Presented by Spirit In Motion Ballet Theater
Over 15,000 Jewish childern passed through Terezin, and only about a hundred were still alive when Terezin was liberated at the end of the war. One of the survivors, Raja, having lived through it all, teaching the children when there was nothing to teach with, helping to give them hop when there was little enough reason for hope, creating a little world of laughter, of flowers, and butterflies behind the barbed wire, tell the true story of the children. It's her play and it's theirs. There were no butterflies at Terezin, of course, but for the children, butterflies became the symbol of hope.
Below is a short trailer of Spirit In Motion's amazing interpretation of this story.
