Even the first boy she ever loved. Our play is Raja's true story. How she learned to live day by day with the suffering of the camp. How she learned to part with those she loved. How she strove to endure a life of poverty and abuse. How she taught the children when her beloved teacher was sent to the extermination camp. During World War II, 15,000 Jewish children were sent by the Nazi Gestapo to Theresienstadt, a former military camp also known as Terezin. This concentration camp was a stopping place for children and adults on their way to the gas chambers in Auschwitz. When Terezin was liberated in 1945, there were only about 100 surviving children left there. These surviving few gathered the writings and artwork created by them, as well as others who had lived at the camp, to put together a published book entitled I Never Saw Another Butterfly.

I Never Saw Another Butterfly • Finding love and hope through despair Enrichment: History of World War II Before the Holocaust: Historical Anti-Semitism & Hitler’s Rise to Power Anti-Semitism in Europe did not begin with Adolf Hitler. Though use of the term itself dates only to the 1870s, there is evidence of hostility toward Jews long before the Holocaust–even as far back as the ancient world, when Roman authorities destroyed the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and forced Jews to leave Palestine. The Enlightenment, during the 17th and 18th centuries, emphasized religious toleration, and in the 19th century Napoleon and other European rulers enacted legislation that ended long-standing restrictions on Jews. Anti-Semitic feeling endured, however, in many cases taking on a racial character rather than a religious one. Experience Enrichment About Us Introduction Projects IFW Donors

Since 1945, the word has taken on a new and horrible meaning: the mass murder of some 6 million European Jews (as well as members of some other persecuted groups, such as Gypsies, by the German Nazi regime during World War II. To the anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, a threat to German racial purity and community. After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler’s “final solution”– now known as the Holocaust – came to fruition under the cover of this world war, with mass killing centers constructed in the concentration camps of occupied Poland.

The picture was meant to encourage women to enter the workforce while men were fighting in the war. It is also a symbol of the millions of women who worked in heavy industry during this time. Women were needed in heavy industry because production in factories needed to increase. The factories also had to change from production of consumer goods to production of military goods. Meet the REAL Rosie’s of WW II here: http://www.anb.org/articles/20/20-01920.html Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon of the United States, representing the American women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II.

They were denied military leadership roles and skilled training because many believed they lacked qualifications for combat duty. Before 1940, African Americans were barred from flying for the U.S. military. Civil rights organizations and the black press exerted pressure that resulted in the formation of an all African-American pursuit squadron based in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1941. They became known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Experience Enrichment About Us Introduction Projects IFW Donors

Their record encouraged the Air Force to integrate before the other services, and they were role models for others, demonstrating how determination and persistence can overcome many obstacles. They risked their lives for their country even at a time when they were denied equal opportunities, and their actions helped open the door of equal opportunity to others of their race. • Brief History of the Tuskegee Airmen • http://newsite.tuskegeeairmen.org/wp-content/uploads/Summary_of_Tuskegee_Airmen_History.pdf • Tuskegee Airmen – Questions & Answers • http://tuskegeeairmen.org/wp-content/uploads/Tuskegee-Airmen-Questions-and-Answers-09_2014.pdf Tuskegee Airmen Group portrait of Class 43-F, 1943 Experience Enrichment About Us Introduction Projects IFW Donors

I Never Saw Another Butterfly • Finding love and hope through despair • Enrichment: World War II & the United States • The U.S. Declaration of Independence • The Declaration of Independence, penned by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, severed the political connections between the thirteen original American colonies and Great Britain. By declaring themselves an independent nation, the American colonists were able to forge an official alliance with and obtain French government assistance in the war against Great Britain. • Equality, especially, was the foundation for our new government, in that it pointed to government by consent. There can be no claim to legitimate rule by a man over his fellow men if all are equal in their rights. These founding principles implied a certain kind of relationship between rulers and ruled.

  48. I Never Saw Another Butterfly • Finding love and hope through despair • Enrichment: World War II & the United States The U.S. Declaration of Independence The Declaration of Independence states that: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed." Our country was founded on the principles of equality for all, no man can rule over all men if there are equal rights. There must be government by consent. When Hitler and the Nazis came to power, his beliefs in racial "purity" and in the superiority of the "Germanic race"—what he called an Aryan "master race“ - became the government ideology and were spread in publicly displayed posters, on the radio, in movies, in classrooms, and in newspapers. The Nazis began to put their ideology into practice through the extermination of those they thought inferior, namely the Jewish people, Gypsies and the disabled.

We must always fight for human equality, a founding principle of our country, as stated in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. • Food for Thought • “In Germany, the Nazis came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. • Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. • Then they came for the trade unionist, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. • Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. • Then they came for me, and by that time, there was no one left to speak up for me.” • Was there ever a time you witnessed discrimination and should have spoken up about it? • What should you do if you or someone you know is a target of intolerance and prejudice? • Rewrite your own version of the poem above describing what you should do in these circumstances.

  50. I Never Saw Another Butterfly • Finding love and hope through despair Projects: Poem to Play The Butterfly  The last, the very last, So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow. Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing against a white stone. . . . Such, such a yellow Is carried lightly 'way up high. It went away I'm sure because it wished to kiss the world good-bye. For seven weeks I've lived in here, Penned up inside this ghetto. But I have found what I love here. The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut branches in the court. Only I never saw another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don't live in here, in the ghetto.           - by Pavel Friedman  Experience Enrichment About Us Introduction Projects IFW Donors
