I always see Ela waring a butterfly - like in September 2005 in Überlingen, Lake of Constance. where this photo was taken and our exhibition was shown and Ela and her friends were invited to share their experiences in the frame of performances of the children's opera Brundibár. Ela had played the cat in the Theresienstadt performances, and to remember the children of the Brundibár cast and the children of Theresienstadt became her passionate mission.
Theresienstadt.

Farewell to
Ela Weissberger, née Stein (June 30, 1930 - March 30, 2018)
30 March 2018
Ela Weissberger, née Stein, one of "The Girls of Room 28" died March 30, 2018, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Never will I forget our first meeting in 1996 in her home in Tappan and the uncountable moments we spent together - in Spindlermühle (the photo was taken there in September 2006), and in all the places we came together after the publication of the book and the opening of the exhibition
The Girls of Room 28 in 2004.
