Abstract:
Examines the play "I Never Saw Another Butterfly", by Celeste Raspanti, relating the fate of Theresienstadt survivor Raja Englaenderova, and Agnieszka Holland's film "Europa, Europa", based on the memoirs of Shlomo Perel ("Ich war Hitlerjunge Salomon", 1992), who survived the Holocaust disguised as an Aryan in the Hitlerjugend. The play and the film present two completely different models of survival, but both can achieve the same thing: ensuring that young people realize what happened in a way that makes them reflect about it.
Note:
On the film "Europa, Europa" and the play "I Never Saw Another Butterfly".
