- "Silent Tears" is based on a poem from the Terrace Holocaust Survivors Group led by Dr. Paula David (University of Toronto) at the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care.
It tells the story of a mother and her three children who were on the run from Nazis, hiding in a forest - and starving. So, the mother goes to a village to try and steal some bits of food for her kids and they become separated.
