We read The Butterfly and poems written by children in Terezin concentration camp and each student received their own poem to read and reflect on as well as create a butterfly to represent the child's life. During the ceremony, students read their poem and shared the art and writing on their butterfly. Once they shared, the fate of the child was shared; many died in Auschwitz (the butterfly was cut down to rest), some had an unknown outcome (students chose the fate), and a few were liberated (remained on the ceiling). Students did an excellent job honoring the memory of these children.
