Poetry, dance, symbolic scenery and costumes all work together to make this an unforgettable tribute to the thousands of children that did not survive their imprisonment at the Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia concentration camp. In English translation, the narrative features actual stories and poems written by the lost children themselves. Their own words poignantly describe scenes of their daily life in the ghetto -- their moments of hope and despair.
