Brundibar

In 2014, inspired by Ms. Frannie Goldstein, WBAIS ES music teacher, the school worked on the Brundibar Project. This page is a contribution of the library staff to the project. We collected educational links that will help you understand more the reasons standing behind the school's involvement into the activity and the facts about the opera performed by children of Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia. Feel free to send more information to be included to the page to mbrodsky@wbais.net.

Examine the links and answer the questions. Write down your responses and put them in the Brundibar Project Box in the library. If you answer more than 5 (five) questions, your participation will be awarded.
