Special Youth Programming (Ages 9+)

Youth ages 9 and up are invited to join us for a meaningful, intergenerational event to honor the children who perished in the Holocaust. This program is an important step in learning how to become an Upstander in our community today.

In partnership with The Butterfly Project and Menorah Life, participants will paint ceramic butterflies alongside Menorah Life residents—creating a powerful connection that spans generations. Each painted butterfly serves as a beautiful, symbolic memorial to a life lost, and all completed butterflies will be assembled into a permanent commemorative mural to be displayed at Menorah Life.

To provide gentle and respectful context, the program will begin with a brief, age-appropriate documentary about the Holocaust.

The Butterfly Project is a call to action through education, the arts, and memorial making. Each butterfly memorializes a child who perished during the Holocaust, with 1.5 million butterflies being painted nationwide. All children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the program. Learn more about The Butterfly Project here.
