FEATURED EVENTS

In 1996, “The Butterfly,” a poem written by Pavel Friedmann in the Terezin Concentration Camp, inspired Museum staff and supporters to create the Butterfly Project, facilitating a connection between a new generation of children with the children who perished in World War II. During this virtual workshop, we will guide you and your child through the story of “The Butterfly” and encourage them to make your own butterfly creation. This workshop is suitable for all ages.
