Excellent performances by Rachel and Michael last night — the story was both grave and touching.Hundreds of thousands (including 15,000 children) passed through Terezin, the last stop before Auschwitz. This play is based on a true story and poetry created by children including Raja [played by Rachel].Honza [Michael] is Raja’s dear friend who brings life and purpose to otherwise dead and hopeless days.  I almost cried when Honza told Raja he would be in the next shipment to Auschwitz.Certainly I am proud of Rachel & Michael.  I was also affected by the story.I want to tell Rachel what was told to Raja:  “Now you are not alone.  And you must not be afraid.”I want to tell Michael what was told to Honza by his father: “You are a good boy [man]… you are not a coward…”I want my family to give to the community what Honza gives to Raja:  a reason to go on another day and find hope,  True Hope — forever not alone, and not afraid.I Never Saw Another Butterfly a play by Celeste Raspanti
