8AM-2PM Volunteer to plant 3-3:30PM Dedication Ceremony In 2016, a butterfly garden was planted at the LJCC as tribute to the six million Jewish men, women, and children, along with millions of others, who were murdered in the Holocaust. The garden served as a symbol of remembrance and renewal, attracting butterflies and visitors alike. Over time, many of the original plantings faded, and the garden no longer flourished. In commemoration of Yom HaShoah or Holocaust Remembrance Day, the LJCC is calling for volunteers to replant the space with flowers chosen to welcome butterflies once again. Planting will take place from 8AM-2PM Pavel Friedmann’s poem “The Butterfly” is etched in stone here—a lasting tribute to his words and memory. Pavel was one of 15,000 children interned at Terezin; only 100 survived. We will host a rededication ceremony in the garden at 3PM when Pavel's poem will be read. We invite visitors to reflect on his poem and to explore the words of other children imprisoned in Terezin, whose voices live on through the collection I Never Saw Another Butterfly. Their poems are displayed along our outdoor track, offering a window into their dreams, fears, and hopes.
