Working within the Requiem structure, Adrian, with author Murray Watts, has woven the authentic words of children who have suffered war, conflict and ethnic cleansing. This powerful and deeply moving work was originally inspired by the children's memorial at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem.
