Lexington Christian Academy’s middle school play is an evening of one-acts about the Terezin concentration camp during World War II, written by Celeste Raspanti.

Raspanti has extracted a beautiful and moving one-act play based on the poetry created in a concentration camp by the Jewish children of Prague. Over 15,000 Jewish children passed through Terezin, and only about 100 were alive when Terezin was liberated at the end of the war. One of the survivors, Raja, having lived through it all at Terezin tells the true story of the children, and their teacher, Irena, who helped to give them hope when there was little enough reason to hope, by creating a little world of laughter, of flowers and butterflies behind the barbed wire.
