This play follows the lives of 2 pen pals that meet in China, in 1979
through the turbulent years of being teenagers and finally young adults as
the tragedy of Tiananmen Square unfolds in 1989. This thought provoking look
at youth cultures, politics and racism is appropriate for ages 12 and older

I NEVER SAW ANOTHER BUTTERFLY
Liberty Christian School will present
"I never Saw Another Butterfly"
this Friday and Saturday evening,
March 20th & 21st at 7pm.
This is a historical one-act play performed by middle and high school
students. Tickets are $3 and can be purchased from the Liberty office or at
the door. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Liberty Christian is located at 2200
Williams Blvd. in Richland.
"I Never Saw Another Butterfly" is an imaginative creation of the story of
Raja Englanderova, a child survivor of the Holocaust. From 1942 to 1945 more
than 15,000 Jewish children passed through Terezin, a former military
garrison set up as a ghetto. It soon became a transition station for
hundreds of thousands of Jews on their way to the gas chambers of Auschwitz.
While most of the children imprisoned at Terezin perished at Auschwitz, some
of their stories of life during the Holocaust are preserved in drawings and
poems, published in the book, I Never Saw Another Butterfly. When Terezin
was liberated in 1945, only about 100 children were alive to return to what
was left of their lives. One of those children was Englanderova, who
returned to her home in Prague after the liberation, and this is her story.
The book was created from the many documentary materials on Englanderova's
life, including poems, diaries, letters, journals, drawings and pictures.
