  Hi everyone,

  It is not often that I write on this list, but I need your help if you are at 
all able.

  I am involved in a Holocaust Memorial Project at the Holocaust Memorial and 
Educational Center of Nassau County Welwyn Preserve, in Glen Cove N.Y.

  We are assembling A Holocaust Memorial Sculpture made to look like the wings 
of a butterfly, out of Soda Can tabs.According to the artist, Jeffrey Schrier,  
"to date more than 27,000 students from 23 states have made feathers for Wings 
Of Witness. The feathers are made up of soda can tabs, each tab representing 
one person who died in the holocaust. There are over nine million tabs, 
representing both Jews and nonJews alike." I can't do justice to this project 
in a simple email. Therefore, for more information, and to see the power of 
this memorial, please visit http://www.wingsofwitness.org/  

  The reason I am writing to you is because I am looking for the music, Piano 
preferbly, to the song The Butterfly by Pavel Friedmann, January 7, 
1921-September 29, 1944. May her/his? memory be for a blessing.
