In the Presence of Butterflies

It was a day like none I had ever experienced... to be In The Presence of Butterflies like these very colorful and precious paper butterflies...a memorial for more than a million Jewish children who were murdered in the Holocaust.

IN THE PRESENCE OF BUTTERFLIES shares the story of The Original Butterfly Project, provides educators methods and practices on HOW TO TEACH ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST TO ANY AGE GROUP, and unveils THE BUTTERFLY PROJECT IV for THE PERMANENT BUTTERFLY MEMORIAL to be erected in Memory of all the Children who died in the Holocaust, and in Honor of all the Survivors, Rescuers, and Liberators.

Once upon a time a teacher and her students decided to honor the memories of more than a million Jewish children who died in the Holocaust. They decided to make and decorate a paper butterfly in memory of each child. And then they did much more.

Because the students were small in number, the teacher enlisted the help of the media to ask that everyone make a paper butterfly in memory of a child who had been killed in the Holocaust. People got involved around the world and soon the mailmen had delivered more than a million paper butterflies to the teacher and her students.
