After decades of working with Holocaust survivors who'd been young adults during the war, Dr. Paula David began working with survivors who were children during this gruesome chapter in history. These survivors began having vivid recollections of their extremely traumatic memories as their short term memories waned. Together, Dr. Paula helped these residents create collective poetry to share their struggles with future generations. Their poetry doesn't chronicle the horrific details, but survivors were subject to many scientific experiments, forced sterilization and sexual abuse.  Dr. Paula, other doctors, care workers, and nurses developed a list of triggers in addition to other information to help all loved ones and caretakers. 

Some residents used the sharing of their collective poetry to help educate school children. These poems inspired, Silent Tears: The Last Yiddish Tango, a new album by Payadora Tango Ensemble. Together producer Daniel Rosenberg and Dr. Paula worked with songwriters, translators, vocalists, and musicians to create haunting songs. Some lyrics feature words from this Terrace Poetry Collective, some from Holocaust survivor Molly Applebaum and some form Anna Hana, Lenka Lichtenberg.
