Butterfly Project





"Homesick"

I've lived in the ghetto here for more than a year,
In Terezin, in the black town now, And when I remember my old house so dear,
I can love it more than I did, somehow.

Ah, home, home,
Why did they tear me away?
Here the weak die as easy as a ferather
And when they die, they die forever.

I'd like to go back home again,
It makes me think of sweet spring flowers.
Before, when I used to live at home,
It seemed so dear and fair.

I remember now those golden days . . .
But maybe I'll be going there soon again.

People walk along the street,
You see at once on each you meet
That there's ghetto here,
A place of evil and of fear.
There's little to eat and much to want,
Where bit by bit, it's horror to live.
But no one must give up!
The world turns and times change.

Yet we all hope the time will come
When we'll go home again.
Now I know how dear it is
And often I remember it.

  1. This butterfly is really detailed great job! The one thing that stood out to me was the two sides of the butterfly which shows that you had determination to finish this project. But the actual butterfly was full of visuals and quotes which is crucial because many people are visual learners. You put so much detail into this like the tags on the Nazi side which represents the cerial numbers that were tattooed onto prisoners instead of them having names.

  2. This is a good butterfly Lesly. I like that you added the tattoo in to let people know people were known as numbers. Those are good pictures and colors that give the butterfly its mood espesially the big bolder words in the center. The only thing is that you didn't really talk much about the author's home on the thinglink points or in the butterfly.

  3. Hi lesly nice job on your butterfly,you did an Amazing job.I like how you put "HOPE " and "FEAR" in the center of the butterfly because those are really the two main traits they felt during the holocaust.But I do have one question what did the tissue stand for and is it a reason that it is different colors.Overall I love it.
