 1.5 million children 
who perished

to read more about this
beautiful way to
help people remember
never to forget the 
tragedy of the Holocaust! 


The Butterfly Project is based on this
 heartwrenching but beautiful poem.

I Never Saw Another Butterfly

 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 good-bye.

For seven weeks I’ve lived in here
Penned up inside this ghetto.
But I have found what I love here.
The dandelions call to me
And the white chestnut branches in the court.

Only I never saw another butterfly.
That butterfly was the last one.
Butterflies don’t live in here, in the ghetto.


Written by Pavel Friedman,

Born in Prague on Jan. 7, 1921.
Deported to the
Terezin Concentration Camp
on April 26, 1942.
Died in Aushchwitz on Sept. 29, 1944.
