______________
Orginally, eighteen butterflies enhanced
the grounds around the rail car
(for chai - Hebrew for life,
the Christian symbol of renewal
and the Children of Terezín)
.
Over the years, visitors have left several more butterflies.
The students, staff, and community of Whitwell Middle School have
transformed the car from a death car
into a symbol of renewed life honoring the lives of those murdered by the Nazis.
For generations of Whitwell students,
a paper clip will never again
be just a paper clip.
Instead, the paper clip is a reminder
of the importance of
perseverance, empathy, tolerance
and understanding.

______________
1.5 million children died in the Holocaust. This enormous number is too great for children to grasp—until you make it real. So the children of Moriah School decided to see it for themselves. Over a period of two and a half years the children collected 1.5 million buttons.
“We still find it hard to understand:
How can people murder innocent children?
By remembering we can help stop
this horrible thing from happening
in our generation”
(Jonah, Yr 7)
