Every week for almost two years, a group of teenage prisoners in the Terezín concentration camp expressed their hopes, dreams and fears in a secret magazine they dared create under the noses of their Nazi captors. Their inspiring words are set to music in American composer Lori Laitman’s oratorio, featuring Seattle’s Northwest Boychoir joined by soloists Ross Hauck and Karen Early Evans.
