In 1996, Holocaust Museum Houston
launched “The Butterfly Project,” an educational study program designed to teach young people about the experiences of1.5 million children who perished during the
Holocaust and the lessons to be learned from
it even today.
Since that time, 1.5 million handcrafted
butterflies from children and adults of all
ages have been collected and are now part
of one of the most important art exhibits
ever: 1.5 million expressions of hope and
remembrance submitted from every continent
except Antarctica – one even from space.
Buy your own copy of this stunning
100-page hardcover coffee-table photobook
containing more than 100 images of the
most creative, imaginative and thoughtful
butterflies submitted over 20 years from
around the world. From intricate stained glass,
to concrete, to steel or to the simple drawings
of a small child, each tells a special story.
Available online at
www.hmh.org/butterfliesor in the Museum Store.
Only $29.95 plus shipping and tax where
applicable.
