This expanded edition of the classic collection of drawings and poems by children of the Terez'n Concentration Camp was published in conjunction with the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. A total of 15,000 children under the age of 15 passed through Terez'n between the years 1942–44; less than one hundred survived. In these poems and pictures we see the daily misery of these uprooted children, as well as their courage and optimism, their hopes and fears.
