“I Never Saw Another Butterfly”: Children of the Terezin Ghetto

The Terezin Ghetto (or “Theresienstadt”) was founded in 1941 as a waystation for Jewish people en route to death camps, and functioned as such through 1945. An unusually high number of prominent Jews including artists, scientists, performers, and teachers were segregated to Terezin, leading to an especially rich cultural life within the ghetto. Paintings were created, jazz and classical concerts occurred, and children participated in art classes, writing lessons, and general education courses taught by highly qualified professionals – all organized by the Jews being confined prior to extermination.

Tonight, join Rebecca Godlove of Prime Stage Theater to learn the heart-wrenching story of the children of Terezin and the adults who did whatever they could to provide them with a light in the darkness.

Don’t miss Prime Stage Theater’s production of I Never Saw Another Butterfly and The Terezin Promise, written by Celeste Raspanti and directed by Wayne Brinda. Performances run from February 28 through March 9.
