Upcoming Events. After being separated from her family and taken to Terezin, Raja is cared for by Irena Synkova Vanessa Martinez , a teacher who encourages the children in the camp to continue learning and making art, despite their difficult situation. I Never Saw Another Butterfly is based on a book of the same name, an anthology of artwork and poetry created by the Children of Terezin and collected by the real-life Raja Englanderova at the end of the war.

Stories of the Holocaust are difficult stories to tell, but remain so very important. As years pass and the number of survivors dwindle, we knew it was critical to continue telling their stories and stories that highlight not only the atrocities committed, but also the hope that persisted and the small acts of resistance and altruism that occurred.

White worked with students to help them understand Terezin and its unique position among the camps in Europe, to examine the concept of hate and how it grows, to comprehend the systemic removal of rights from Jews in Europe, and to see the story and their characters authentically as real people who experienced the horrors and hardships of this era in history.
