Video: Paper clips for remembrance

Click to view video

Included in this article

In 1998, while learning about the Holocaust, students in an 8th grade class at Whitwell Middle School decided to collect eleven million paper clips, one for every person who died in the tragedy. The students’ effort gained international notice in 2005, when HBO featured a documentary about the paper clip project. Whitwell educators are developing a pilot curriculum, hoping similar efforts take hold nationwide.
