Hate to Hope: metamorphosis

Turpin High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, created a project with a goal to change the world, in response to multiple pieces of holocaust literature. Their final project was a transformation, or metamorphosis of hateful images of the holocaust to beautiful butterflies. Each butterfly holds on it a signature of a student, by signing the butterfly the student pledges to be a nicer person. At the end of the project the butterflies were sent to the Holocaust Museum in Texas to be a part of a bigger collection of butterflies.

What a cool video! It's so important to share these lessons with kids. That's why we created Six Million for Six Million.
