A well-known book of poetry, an anthology of poems written by or about children at the Terezin concentration camp in the Holocaust, is called “I Never Saw Another Butterfly,” edited by Hana Velovkova.
Based on this book, and the terrible facts of the Holocaust, Greeley school children have created butterflies to remember the lives of children who lived in those harsh times.
.
Chalice Arts (of UUCG) will feature a collection of posters from several years of past Holocaust memorial observances, and will also show a number of hand made art and origami butterflies made by Greeley school children to memorialize those who lived or died during the Holocaust.
The public is welcomed to visit the exhibit on First Friday, May 6, 2011 from 5 to 7 pm. People are also invited to visit
the exhibit on Sundays following the service from 12 to 1pm.
The exhibit continues through May 8.
