The irrepressible power of Art will come alive as audiences witness the passion of a teacher, the creativity of children, and their courage. Austrian artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis inspired Jewish children in the Terezin concentration camp to make poems and drawings in secret art classes to bring hope and healing into the darkest hours of the holocaust. A young Raja Englanderova remained to keep a promise she made to their teacher save and preserve the drawings and poems of the Terezin children.
