  Why I Have a Butterfly Garden
Review created: 07/23/01

Pros:
Some poignant and moving writing...

Cons:
...which will break your heart.

A special thank-you to members quasar and eplovejoy ( and the other EAddicts, too!) for reminding me of this book. ...I never saw another butterfly... is one of the saddest books I've ever read. It is a collection of drawings and poems done by the children of Terezin (Theresienstadt) between the years of 1942-1944. Terezin was the 'model' camp, the one which was shown to outside observers such as the Red Cross. In fact, it was called a 'ghetto' instead of a camp, and was built to convince foreigners that life for the children there was good. Actually, life for the children in Terezin was.
