Art, Poetry and Metamorphosis on Yom HaShoah

In observance of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day (May 4), the community has the opportunity to come together to hear harrowing, true stories during a performance of the one-act play “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” by Celeste Raspanti. Adapted from the collection of art and poetry written by children at the WWII concentration camp Terezin, the play centers around Raja, one of the children who survived. Her story tells of the true tale behind the brick internment walls of Terezin, the Nazi-chosen location to detain Jewish scholars, professionals, musicians and artists, which was used as a strategic illusion to deceive international Red Cross inspectors.
