I was one of them – - the children of Terezin, one who saw everything, the barbed wire fence, the rats, the lice, one who knew the hunger, dirt and smells, one who heard trains arrive, then leave, screaming sirens, and the tread of heavy feet in the dark.

[... … …]

Only I never saw another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don't live here in the ghetto.
