HOLOCAUST...The Butterfly Project


We are taking part in the Holocaust Memorial Butterfly exhibition !!!! Its estimated that over 1.5 million children were murdered during this awful time in our history, so a gallery in NYC is asking children to make butterflies and send them to be exhibited, they are hoping to get one for each child that died...so far Aideen has made 5 butterflies, but this is my favourite...she drew out a simple butterfly outline, then using thread and beads she "embroidered" the shape onto card...this week we are also studying a book (childrens) about the Holocaust...
