1.5 Million Expressions of Hope and Remembrance

In 1996, Holocaust Museum Houston launched “The Butterfly Project,” an educational study program designed to teach young people about the experiences of 1.5 million children who perished during the Holocaust and the lessons to be learned from it even today. Since that time, 1.5 million handcrafted butterflies from children and adults of all ages have been collected and are now part of one of the most important art exhibits ever: 1.5 million expressions of hope and remembrance submitted from every continent except Antarctica – one even from space.

Buy your own copy of this stunning 100-page hardcover coffee-table photobook containing more than 100 images of the most creative, imaginative and thoughtful butterflies submitted over 20 years from around the world. From intricate stained glass, to concrete, to steel or to the simple drawings of a small child, each tells a special story. Available online at www.hmh.org/butterflies or in the Museum Store. Only $29.95 plus shipping and tax where applicable.
