The Butterfly

Pavel Friedmann

The last, the very last, So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow. Perhaps if the sun’s tears would sing against a white stone…

Such, such a yellow Is carried lightly ‘way up high. It went away I’m sure because it wished to kiss the world goodbye.

For seven weeks I’ve lived in here, Penned up inside this ghetto But I have found my people here. The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut candles in the court. Only I never saw another butterfly.

That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don’t live in here, In the ghetto.

The poem was written at Theresienstadt concentration camp on 4 June 1942. On September 29, 1944 he was deported to Auschwitz where he died. Pavel Friedmann was born January 7 1921, in Prague, and deported to Terezín* on April 26, 1942.

Holocaust Music

“Music has charms to soothe a savage breast.” is a famous line which was used by a character in William Congreve’s 1697 play The Mourning Bride. And sometimes music does sooth the savage beast, but during the Holocaust some of these ‘beasts’ were so evil that mothing could soothe them. However, music did play an important role during the Holocaust and not always for the people in the camps or in…

To celebrate Chanukah, we share these two drawings composed by children in Thereisenstadt Concentration Camp. The first was drawn by a girl who was killed in 1944 at age 14. The second shows a secret synagogue and was drawn by Helga weissova of Prague. Weissova survived the war and still lives in Prague. May the light of these candles penetrate the dark. #chanukah #theresienstadt #terezin #holocaustart #menorah #holocaust #childrensart #prague #jewishart https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUyyYVAMeJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We took our kids to Terezin today. It was deeply moving. The artwork of children denied a future was particularly poignant.

MG & YA Book Review: Hana's Suitcase by Karen Levine

While on vacation in the Czech Republic, I learned about a MG and YA WWII book called "Hana's Suitcase." When I returned home, I downloaded and read it in one sitting. It's an amazing story. Check out my book review.

During our recent vacation, my husband and I visited the town of Terezin, the former WWII Theresienstadt Ghetto, located 30 miles north of Prague, Czech Republic. It served as a waystation from 1941-1945 for more than 88,000 Czech, German, and Danish Jews on their way to extermination camps. Another 33,000 Jews died within its fortress-like walls from malnutrition and disease. Now a Holocaust…

Arrivederci, Misha

L’8 marzo se n’è andato Michael Gruenbaum, ma la famiglia lo ha annunciato solo poco fa, tramite il suo editore statunitense. Ci eravamo sentiti l’ultima volta settimane orsono. «Hi, Misha». Perché per chi lo conosceva non era Michael. Lui con la sua voce allegra e squillante, sempre pieno di progetti e con lo sguardo in avanti. Si informava di come andasse il suo libro qui in Italia. A volte…

Poem written in Theresienstadt

Gerty Spies

Two walls are sunk into the valley,

Two walls, steep and red.

And in the depth, poor and narrow

Slumbers, unmoving, the canal –

Everything else is still and dead.

A meagre lawn grows miserly.

In cold-rigid air

A black choir of crows scatters.

At the slope stands silent a dark gate –

It leads to the vault of death.

Terezin, Winter 1943 / 44

Jewish Footballers murdered during the Holocaust.

We are at the start again of a new UEFA Champions League season, and also in the middle of UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers. This inspired me to look at some players who never had a chance to play in any of the football tournaments, either as player or coach. Before I go into the stories of some individual footballers, first the context of the picture above. Football on Sunday afternoon in Camp…
