This book is a compilation of poetry and art created by the children of the Terezin ( Theresienstdt) Concentration Camp between 1942 and 1944. The children (15 years of age and younger), conveyed their feelings about life-- their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. The last few pages of the book offer a few facts about each child —the year and place of birth, the number of his/her transport to Terezin and to Auschwitz, and, in most cases, the year of death. The images and words created are all that remain of these children. It is their legacy to us. Of the 15,000 children who went through Terezin, only 100 survived.
