Butterfly. With English Subtitles.
The text of The Butterfly was discovered at Theresienstadt after the concentration camp was liberated. It has been included in collections of children’s literature from the Holocaust era, most notably the anthology I Never Saw Another Butterfly, first published by Hana Volavková and Jiří Weil in 1959. The poem also inspired the Butterfly Project of the Holocaust Museum Houston, an exhibition where 1.5 million paper butterflies were created to symbolize the same number of children that were murdered in the Holocaust.
The film contains a Russian translation of the poem (translated by Ivan Borshchevsky) with English subtitles.
The visual material is from the collection of the Jewish museum in Prague. (https://www.jewishmuseum.cz/)
