Comments on books by Herman Taube:

"His vision roams over many continents, countless diverse subjects, and a variety of characters. Everywhere he finds a word, an expression, a sound, a thought, a proper noun and together they start singing and form a poem. These poems belong to the never-to be-forgotten witness literature of our time."

-  ELIE WIESEL

"Some poets make of this world a tragedy. Others, like Herman Taube, do not. They look for every spark of light. It is not that he comes singing happy songs — there is a great deal of sadness in his poems. But there is a wonderful strength that rises out of the sadness. But that is not all of this work — for his is not only our poet of the Holocaust in the way that Elie Wiesel is; but he is the poet of the ordinary human being — you and me — who has been to hell, whose life has been irrevocably shaped by the Jewish experience of World War II, but who lives in the world of today, like to rest of us."

-  MERRILL LEFFLER

"His collective works, which span decades, continents and cultures, constitute an eloquent and powerful chronicle of the Jewish experience in our time. It is a record at once intensely personal and universal. And it is, as is his life, a voluble and vibrant legacy, a model of the highest standard for Jewish artists of all ages."

-  MICHA LEV

"Herman Taube has the unique ability to make inanimate objects come alive. Taube is not a magician, but a sensitive author and poet who uses words and images to coax life out of a universe that others overlook. Every words and, at times, each syllable that he writes, reverberates with the consciousness of Yiddishe Neshome (Jewish soul). He is an observer of all aspects of life, from the perspectives of Jewish values and outlook."

It was a day like none I had ever experienced... to be In The Presence of Butterflies like these very colorful and precious paper butterflies...a memorial for more than a million Jewish children who were murdered in the Holocaust. ------Joy Summerlin-Glunt IN THE PRESENCE OF BUTTERFLIES shares the story of The Original Butterfly Project, provides educators methods and practices on HOW TO TEACH ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST TO ANY AGE GROUP, and unveils THE BUTTERFLY PROJECT IV for THE PERMANENT BUTTERFLY MEMORIAL to be erected in Memory of all the Children and their Families who died in the Holocaust, and in Honor of all the Survivors, Rescuers, and Liberators. Once upon a time a teacher and her students decided to honor the memories of more than a million Jewish children who died in the Holocaust. They decided to make and decorate a paper butterfly in memory of each child. And then they did much more. Because the students were small in number, the teacher enlisted the help of the media to ask that everyone make a paper butterfly in memory of a child who had been killed in the Holocaust. People got involved around the world and soon the mailmen had delivered more than a million paper butterflies to the teacher and her students.
