  • Holocaust Memorial with Cumbria Libraries, Craft a Butterfly
    Help to create a County wide art instillation by decorating a butterfly in response to the poem The Butterfly by Pavel Friedmann. Pick up a butterfly at your library or draw your own. The Butterfly The last, the very last, So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow. Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing against a white stone... Such, such a yellow Is carried lightly way up high. It went away I'm sure because it wished to kiss the world goodbye. For seven weeks I've lived in here, Penned up inside this ghetto But I have found my people here. The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut candles in the court. Only I never saw another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don't live in here, In the ghetto. Pavel Friedmann

Because being the light in the darkness starts with all of us. Pick up a candle at your library or draw your own.
