Butterflies are soaring through the air on wings of paper to remember the children of the Holocaust. Last week we learned about the children in World War II and what their life was like. We learned the amount of children who died numbered over 1,500,000. Then we learned about a project in Houston, Texas, to create butterflies in loving memory of those children. All of the boys instantly took an immense liking to this project and started right away painting on the backs of those butterflies. Some boys even went home and told their families about this project, only to have their families caught up in it too! The project is going on until the year 1012, and then it will be released… one and a half million butterflies to remind us of what show not be forgotten. It inspired my heart to see all of these people coming together to honor unknown children from the distant past.
