More than 15,000 Jewish children under the age of 15 passed through the Nazi concentration camp of Terezin between 1942 and 1944. Fewer than 100 were still alive by the end of World War II.
I Never Saw Another Butterfly is the true story of these children as seen through the eyes of Raja, who helped teach and console them during the Holocaust.
This play, by Celeste Raspanti, herself a survivor of Terezin, was inspired by a book of the same name, a collection of drawings and poems by actual children who lived and died there.
