"Based on the children who planted a tree in a living hell. In Theresienstadt, a tree is planted by the children who were held there, with only 200 out of the 1,500 kids who were present over the course of the Holocaust surviving. This is a story about Jewish resilience and innocence in a time of apocalypse."

"This is a reflection of the poet on the way they interact with the world and the people they meet. It brings up the question, 'Does one need a sad existence to have a meaningful existence?' and if 'Prescribed pills are the fix it all' as friends, lovers, and acquaintances had told them for as long as they could remember."
