PHOTO ABOVE: "Victory" Song from Brundibar
THE "VICTORY" SONG FROM BRUNDIBAR EXPRESSED THE CHILDREN OF TEREZIN'S BELIEF THAT HITLER WOULD BE DEFEATED:
"We’ve won a victory over the tyrant mean, sound trumpets, beat your drum, and show us your esteem! We’ve won a victory, since we were not fearful, since we were not tearful, because we marched along singing our happy song, bright, joyful and cheerful. He who loves his dad, mother and native land, who wants the tyrant’s end, join us hand in hand and be our welcome friend!"

"Tell Them We Remember" was text for 4th-6th grade --great for ALL ages. Each student had a copy.
This historical background on the Holocaust provides students a needed foundation for becoming Terezin specialists
For me, Charlotte Delbo's book, "Auschwitz and After," is the best book for giving us a beginning idea of what it was like...

Students in grades 4-6 also had a personal copy of "Terezin - Voices from the Holocaust" to learn about Terezin. 2nd & 3rd grade students used "The Cat with the Yellow Star" and "101 Dalmatians" by Dodie Smith. I used "101 Dalmatians" FIRST when younger students before introducing Terezin. (Read explanation under book cover)
