Six Million Paperclips

Six Million Paperclips The Making of a Children's Holocaust Memorial By Peter W. Schroeder & Dagmar Schroeder-Hildebrand To understand the enormity of the Holocaust, students in Whitwell, Tennessee, a town without Jews, began collecting paper clips, one for each victim of the Nazis. German journalists Dagmar and Peter Schroeder, who helped the project garner world-wide attention, retell the exciting story of how a student effort culminated in the creation of the Children's Holocaust memorial, a symbol of tolerance and hope. Powerful lessons taught are taught to the world by small town students and educators.
