Ela Stein was eleven years old in February of 1942 when she was sent to the Terezin concentration camp. While there, a children's opera called Brundibar was performed, and Ela was chosen to play the pivotal role of the cat. Full of sorrow, yet persistent in its belief that humans can triumph over evil, this memoir pays tribute to the brave and devoted adults who helped the children of Terezin.
