		The idea was to collect six million paper clips - one for each of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust - an idea that touched a chord among Holocaust survivors, their families and even world leaders and celebrities as word of the project spread.
		The students did some research, and discovered that citizens of Norway, where the paper clip was invented, wore paper clips on their lapels as a sign of patriotism and resistance against Nazi tyranny during the war years.
		The project extended over several years and, in 2001, Whitwell dedicated a unique Holocaust memorial railcar, filled with paper clips and dedicated in an emotional ceremony on the anniversary of Kristallnacht.

	Paper Clips Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Paper Clips Project is a project by middle school students from the small southeastern Tennessee city of Whitwell who created a monument for the Holocaust victims in Nazi Germany.
		Having difficulty in comprehending the massive scale of the Holocaust, students decided to collect 6,000,000 paper clips to represent the estimated 6,000,000 Jews killed between 1939 and 1945 under the authority of the Nazi government of Adolf Hitler.
		Paper clips were chosen in part because some people from Norway wore them on their lapels as a symbol of resistance against Nazi occupation during the World War II.

		A project by a school in a small Tennessee town to collect six million paper clips, so that its students can gain an appreciation for the size of the Holocaust, seems at first glance almost silly, almost inappropriate.
		The lessons of tolerance and diversity becomes powerful, not because of the sheer magnitude of the paper clips gathered (around 29 million at last count), but because of the personal stories that are revealed by those it touches.
		A teacher is made aware of his father's, and his own, prejudices and propensity to stereotype through the project and is keenly aware of the need to pass on his lesson to his own children.
