Paper Clips

When the students of Tennessee's Whitwell Middle School began studying the Holocaust as a way to learn about intolerance and diversity, nobody could have predicted the results. In 2001, the Paper Clip Project culminated in a unique memorial that changed the lives of those who created it, as well as touching Holocaust survivors and countless communities.

Because Norwegians invented the paper clip and used it as a symbol of solidarity against the Nazis, students started collecting them to help visualize such vast numbers of victims. As word spread online and in the media, paper clips poured in from around the world, 11 million of which are enshrined in an authentic German railcar standing in the schoolyard. "Patiently told and lovingly made" (Variety), this inspiring, award-winning documentary shows how even small-town students and educators can teach the world powerful lessons.

There are too many people that deny the holocaust even happened... Thank you to every single person who had a part in this inspirational movie.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that I was a part of this project, though not in the original group. It was an amazing experience that opened my eyes to the sufferings of many people. I gave tours of the rail car at WMS, and when you step inside that rail car, its almost impossible to envision how they fit so many people in there at one time. The second documentary they made for this project has just been completed, and will be coming out soon :)
