A great book--but don't stop there. This is just a tiny glimpse of an inspiring story about how two middle school teachers started a project that took on international dimensions. Whitwell is a small town in Tennessee with no ethnic diversity. As the teachers began teaching about the Holocaust, students could not grasp the idea of six million people being killed by Nazi Germany during WWII. So they began a project that lasted over several years to collect paper clips to represent those who lost their lives in the camps. My husband and I were introduced to this story by the movie "Paper Clips," several years ago. It is the almost unbelievable story of what happened to the students and the entire town. It is a well-told and heartwarming story. We were so taken with the story that we planed a trip to Whitwell where the Holocaust Memorial is still teaching young students about hate and yet how love can triumph. In the new school there is an entire room and library that is a testimony of how widely these students influenced others. Get the video and prepare to be impressed and moved.
