Jirka polak poems about family

Below are the responses written by the fifth grade students after reading some of the poems in the book,
 I Never Saw Another Butterfly:
Do not worry. Worry you will not,

In this concentration camp you will not rot.

You will see light and butterflies

But if you do, we’ll say a prayer for all who’ve died.

So child, be hopeful, sing a song.

Your soul and you!  Hope has not gone.

Daniel Brocke

That bird, that bird see
