The library at West Hills Middle School transformed into a place of peace and reflection thanks to eighth-grade students. Language arts classes read “The Diary of Anne Frank” and a collection of poems from children who were in the Terezin Concentration Camp titled “I Never Saw Another Butterfly.” Students decorated butterflies, each representing a poem written by a child during their imprisonment at Terezin. Butterflies in flight represented children who survived the Holocaust, while those on tables represented the 1.5 million Jewish children who did not survive.
Thank you to Ms. Hensel, Ms. Young, and all of the students who together created a powerful exhibit to remember and honor victims of the Holocaust.
