This is one of the most poignant books I have ever read. The are drawings and poems written by some of the 15000 children under the age of 14 who went through the Terezin concentration camp between 1942 and 1944. The last sentence on the back flap of the dust cover says it. “These drawings and poems speak to us; these are the voices which have been preserved, the voices of reminder, of truth, of hope.”
