Summary
Struggling to grasp the concept of 6 million Holocaust victims, the students at Whitwell Middle School in rural Tennessee decide to collect 6 million paper clips to better understand the extent of this crime against humanity. Norwegians invented the paper clip and used it as a symbol of solidarity against the Nazis; this prompted the students to start collecting them to help visualize the vast numbers of victims of the Holocaust. Eleven million paper clips from around the world are enshrined in an authentic German railcar standing in the schoolyard.Additional Information
