How would you, or for that matter a teacher go about educating young disinterested, non-Jewish (and even  Jewish) teenagers about the Shoah? How does a child, growing up with the evening news showing urban crime, violence and murders even begin to conceptualise the enormity of 6 Million murders?

Well, at a school in Mid-West America, one teacher was struggling with the same question, until an ingenious solution was found. Every Student in class was asked to collect paper clips, one each to represent everyone of 6 Million. This Award-Winning Documentary, shows the amazing process, from the earliest steps at the local school, to the eventual National and International News Coverage, through finding and interviewing survivors to the acquisition of a permanent monument in the students’ home town.

Do come and see this amazing film. As well as being informative it is heart warming and a testament to the power of good education
