Terezin Children’s Songs for Soprano, Violin, and Piano by Barbara Harbach
The ghetto of Terezin (Theresienstadt), located in the hills outside Prague, was an unusual concentration camp in that it was created to cover up the Nazi genocide of the Jews. Billed as the “Führer’s gift to the Jews, this “model ghetto” was the site of a Red Cross inspection visit in 1944. With its high proportion of artists and intellectuals, culture flourished in the ghetto – alongside starvation, disease, and constant dread of transports to the death camps of the east. Every one of its inhabitants was condemned in advance to die.
97,297 died among whom were 15,000 children between the years 1942-1944; less than 100 children survived. In the poems and drawings of the children, many smuggled out of the camp, we see the daily misery of these uprooted children, as well as their courage and optimism, their hopes and fears. These innocent and honest depictions allow us to see through the eyes of the children what life was like in the ghetto. Their art reveals a maturity beyond their years, are haunting reminders of what no child should ever have to see. In spite of the circumstances, the poetry is beautiful and uplifting – telling a story that resonates in each of us.
I. Birdsong – 1941 AnonymousAnonymous Child, Written in Terezin Concentration CampThe poem is preserved in manuscript and is written in pen on a sheet of white paper together with thepoem “Night in the Ghetto.”
He doesn't know the world at all Who stays in his nest and doesn't go out. He doesn't know what birds know best Nor what I want to sing about, That the world is full of loveliness.
When dewdrops sparkle in the grass And earth's aflood with morning light, A blackbird sings upon a bush To greet the dawning after night. Then I know how fine it is to live.
Hey, try to open up your heart To beauty; go to the woods someday And weave a wreath of memory there. Then if tears obscure your way You'll know how wonderful it is To be alive.
II. Forgotten – AnonymousThe poem is preserved in manuscript and is written in pen on a square piece of paper torn from anotebook.
You wanton, quiet memory that haunts me all the while In order to remind me of her whom love I send. Perhaps when you caress me sweetly, I will smile, You are my confidante today, my very dearest friend. You sweet remembrance, tell a fairy tale About my girl who’s lost and gone, you see. Tell, tell the one about the golden grail And call the swallow, bring her back to me. Fly somewhere back to her and ask her, soft and low, If she thinks of me sometimes with love, If she is well and ask her, too, before you go If I am still her dearest, precious dove. And hurry back, don’t lose your way, So I can think of other things, But you were too lovely, perhaps, to stay. I loved you once. Good-bye, my love!
III. On A Sunny Evening – 1944 Anonymous The poem is preserved in a typewritten copy. There is the date “1944” in the upper right corner.
On a purple, sun-shot evening Under wide-flowering chestnut trees Upon the threshold full of dust Yesterday, today, the days are all like these. Trees flower forth in beauty, Lively too their very wood all gnarled and old That I am half afraid to peer Into their crowns of green and gold. The sun has made a veil of gold So lovely that my body aches. Above, the heavens shriek with blue Convinced I've smiled by some mistake. The world's abloom and seems to smile, I want to fly but where, how high? If in barbed wire, things can bloom Why couldn't l? I will not die!
The Butterfly – 1942 by Pavel Friedman
The poem is preserved in typewritten copy on thin copy paper in the collection of poetry by Pavel Friedmann, which was donated to the State Jewish Museum during its documentation campaign. It is dated June 4, 1942, in the left corner. Pavel Friedmann was born on January 7, 1921, in Prague and departed to Terezin on April 26, 1942. He died in Auschwitz on September 29, 1944.
The last, the very last, So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow. Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing against a white stone. . . . Such, such a yellow Is carried lightly 'way up high. It went away I'm sure because it wished to kiss the world good-bye. For seven weeks I've lived in here, Penned up inside this ghetto. But I have found what I love here. The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut branches in the court. Only I never saw another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don't live in here, in the ghetto.
Pavel Friedman: Friedman was a young poet, who lived in the Theresienstadt Ghetto. Little is known of the author, but he is presumed to have been 17 years old when he wrote “The Butterfly”. It was found among a hidden cache of children’s work recovered at the end of the Second World War. He was eventually deported to Auschwitz where he died on September 29, 1944.
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep – 1932
“Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” is a poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye. Although the origin of the poem was disputed until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.

Terezin Children’s Songs for Soprano, Violin and Piano by Barbara Harbach
The ghetto of Terezin (Theresienstadt), located in the hills outside Prague, was an unusual concentration camp in that it was created to cover up the Nazi genocide of the Jews. Billed as the “Führer’s gift to the Jews, this “model ghetto” was the site of a Red Cross inspection visit in 1944. With its high proportion of artists and intellectuals, culture flourished in the ghetto – alongside starvation, disease, and constant dread of transports to the death camps of the east. Every one of its inhabitants was condemned in advance to die.
97,297 died among whom were 15,000 children between the years 1942-1944; less than 100 children survived. In the poems and drawings of the children, many smuggled out of the camp, we see the daily misery of these uprooted children, as well as their courage and optimism, their hopes and fears. These innocent and honest depictions allow us to see through the eyes of the children what life was like in the ghetto. Their art reveals a maturity beyond their years, are haunting reminders of what no child should ever have to see. In spite of the circumstances, the poetry is beautiful and uplifting – telling a story that resonates in each of us.
I. Birdsong – 1941 Anonymous Anonymous Child, Written in Terezin Concentration Camp The poem is preserved in manuscript and is written in pen on a sheet of white paper together with the poem “Night in the Ghetto.”
He doesn't know the world at all Who stays in his nest and doesn't go out. He doesn't know what birds know best Nor what I want to sing about, That the world is full of loveliness. When dewdrops sparkle in the grass And earth's aflood with morning light, A blackbird sings upon a bush To greet the dawning after night. Then I know how fine it is to live. Hey, try to open up your heart To beauty; go to the woods someday And weave a wreath of memory there. Then if tears obscure your way You'll know how wonderful it is To be alive.
II. Forgotten – Anonymous The poem is preserved in manuscript and is written in pen on a square piece of paper torn from a notebook.
You wanton, quiet memory that haunts me all the while In order to remind me of her whom love I send. Perhaps when you caress me sweetly, I will smile, You are my confidante today, my very dearest friend. You sweet remembrance, tell a fairy tale About my girl who’s lost and gone, you see. Tell, tell the one about the golden grail And call the swallow, bring her back to me. Fly somewhere back to her and ask her, soft and low, If she thinks of me sometimes with love, If she is well and ask her, too, before you go If I am still her dearest, precious dove. And hurry back, don’t lose your way, So I can think of other things, But you were too lovely, perhaps, to stay. I loved you once. Good-bye, my love!
III. On A Sunny Evening – 1944 Anonymous The poem is preserved in a typewritten copy. There is the date “1944” in the upper right corner.
On a purple, sun-shot evening Under wide-flowering chestnut trees Upon the threshold full of dust Yesterday, today, the days are all like these. Trees flower forth in beauty, Lively too their very wood all gnarled and old That I am half afraid to peer Into their crowns of green and gold. The sun has made a veil of gold So lovely that my body aches. Above, the heavens shriek with blue Convinced I've smiled by some mistake. The world's abloom and seems to smile, I want to fly but where, how high? If in barbed wire, things can bloom Why couldn't l? I will not die!
The Butterfly – 1942 by Pavel Friedman
The poem is preserved in typewritten copy on thin copy paper in the collection of poetry by Pavel Friedmann, which was donated to the State Jewish Museum during its documentation campaign. It is dated June 4, 1942, in the left corner. Pavel Friedmann was born on January 7, 1921, in Prague and departed to Terezin on April 26, 1942. He died in Auschwitz on September 29, 1944.
The last, the very last, So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow. Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing against a white stone. . . . Such, such a yellow Is carried lightly 'way up high. It went away I'm sure because it wished to kiss the world good-bye. For seven weeks I've lived in here, Penned up inside this ghetto. But I have found what I love here. The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut branches in the court. Only I never saw another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don't live in here, in the ghetto.
Pavel Friedman: Friedman was a young poet, who lived in the Theresienstadt Ghetto. Little is known of the author, but he is presumed to have been 17 years old when he wrote “The Butterfly”. It was found among a hidden cache of children’s work recovered at the end of the Second World War. He was eventually deported to Auschwitz where he died on September 29, 1944.
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep – 1932
“Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” is a poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye. Although the origin of the poem was disputed until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.
