I Never Saw Another Butterfly -WebQuest
After Nazi Germany invaded and seized control of Czechoslovakia, they converted the town of Terezin (also known as Theresienstadt) into a concentration camp/ghetto for Jewish people. About 140,000 Jews from many parts of Europe were imprisoned at Terezin, including 15,000 children. From Terezin, most of the people were then sent east to the death camp at Auschwitz. Through this Web Quest, you will learn about the children of Terezin - their thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams - through their poetry and art. You will use your Butterfly Journal to respond to some questions, and to reflect on things you will be reading.
To begin the Quest, we are going to find out about Terezin. Use the following websites.
