About this ebook
The true story of students who helped quantify the horrors of the Holocaust
At a middle school in a small, all white, all Protestant town in Tennessee, a special after-school class was started to teach the kids about the Holocaust, and the importance of tolerance. The students had a hard time imagining what six million was (the number of Jews the Nazis killed), so they decided to collect six million paperclips, a symbol used by the Norwegians to show solidarity with their Jewish neighbors during World War II. German journalists Dagmar and Peter Schroeder, whose involvement brought the project international attention, tell the dramatic story of how the Paper Clip Project grew, culminating in the creation of The Children's Holocaust Memorial.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I read this book and instantly loved it. I was able to connect with the kids in Whitwell. I grew up in a small town that consisted of all white people except for 2 black families. These kids show maturity as they go about collecting and counting the paper clips. There is a documentary but I have not watched it yet. I tell all the 8th graders to read this after they have done their Diary of Anne Frank section in reading. I havne't heard one say they didn't like it!
