The Butterfly Project

Wednesday July 11, 2018
12:30 PM


In partnership with the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, the Wilkinsburg Public Library is offering a painting session for the Butterfly Project. The Butterfly Project is a San Diego-based initiative that has set out to paint one ceramic butterfly for each of the 1.5 million children killed in the Holocaust, and we are working to add to the count.

Participants in the Butterfly Project will learn about childrent who died in the Holocaust and receive a card with the story of a specific child. The participants will then paint a butterfly, perhaps inspired by the story of that child. As we learn about children lost in the Holocaust, we will challenge the community to embrace differences and to fight against bigotry and intolerance happening now.

The completed butterflies will be displayed in the library as part of a city-wide exhibit, and there will also be a free end-of-summer celebration to bring together all participants in the project (details TBA).

Butterfly painting session is free, but sign-up is required.
