4. What their lives had been…

5. What they had become…

14. “We Got Used To Standing”.
Petr Fischl, 15 year old
Killed in Auschwitz in 1944

16. “Fear”
Eva Pickova, 12 years old
Killed at Auschwitz in 1943

18. “The Butterfly” The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
against a white stone…

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

20. 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.

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

22. “The Butterfly” Pavel Friedman, 14 years old
Killed in Auschwitz in 1944
