The Paperclip Project – Holocaust Memorial
Posted By admin on July 17, 2011
After hearing a Holocaust survivor speak at a teacher training conference, David Smith, associate principal, and other teachers created the Whitwell Middle School Holocaust Project, a curriculum about issues of hate and intolerance. The idea to collect six million paper clips was inspired by the practice of Norwegians who, during World War II, wore paper clips on their lapels as a statement of protest against the Nazis. The project expanded to creation of a Holocaust memorial, and became the subject of a documentary film, "Paper Clips," and a book, "Six Million Paper Clips: The Making Of A Children's Holocaust Memorial."
