Film Screening & Painting Ceramic Butterflies Activity
COST: FREE, No reservation needed
NOT The Last Butterfly film tells the inspiring tale of The Butterfly Project, a grass roots arts and education initiative that memorializes the 1.5 million children killed in the Holocaust through global displays of ceramic butterflies – one butterfly painted for each child.
The Butterfly Project’s messages of hope and healing are woven together with Holocaust survivors’ courageous stories of these dark times. A moving account of survival and a lesson in the healing power of art working its magic, NOT The Last Butterfly offers young and old alike a new way to find hope in one of history’s great tragedies and empowers all of us to take action to create a more peaceful world.
