In haunting poems, Janeczko lays bare the strength, hope, and despair of those imprisoned at Terezín during the Holocaust. Most of the pieces, accompanied by drawings from actual inmates, represent fictional characters imagined by Janeczko. Readers are filled with a growing sense of sadness and anger; yet the works sing of the humanity and bravery of those who lived and died at Terezín.
