For those who dont understand reading poetry.
This is a book called “I never saw another Butterfly” it is a collection of poems written by children in Tereisinstadt, describing their life in that Ghetto.
And frankly the best observance of Yom Hashoa Ive ever seen was a dramatic reading of diaries from children in the Ghetto’s (Not Anne Frank) some were even with unknown authors.
One entry was from a girl in Lodz (author unknown) who stole food from her father because she was hungry and her reaction when she found out her father wasnt mad at her.
Another entry was from a boy in Vilna, writing about Ponary (The killing field for the Jews of Vilna) and everyone was scared to go to Ponary (He went there eventually as well) and his own thoughts about Ponary
