Following the reading, attorney Zachary Zwillinger will facilitate a workshop on ways allies can better support and protect undocumented immigrants and refugees.
Alarming and heartbreaking news has been continuously coming in the past week accounting the reprehensible conditions under which immigrant children, some of which are infants, have been detained in camps at the border. From overcrowding, to malnutrition, to lack of access to basic needs such as soap, toothpaste, and diapers; the children's treatment is inhumane to say the least. Following the latest leak of ICE's "family op" plan to target 2,000 undocumented immigrants and refugees, and a tweet mentioning the "removing of millions," a need became clear to draw more attention to the deplorable actions of our government, support organizations that are helping these individuals, and educate our society on ways we can help.
To spread awareness, we are producing a reading of I Never Saw Another Butterfly, the story of Raja, a young Jewish girl who is separated from her family during World War II to Terezin, a camp where 15,000 Jewish children passed through. Raja, who lived through it all, provides care and hope for the children, at a time when only despair can be found.
