The box car was restored to hold artifacts and 6,000,000 paper clips collected by the children in memory of Jews killed by the Nazis. Paper clips were invented and worn by Norwegian Jews on their lapels in silent protest against the Third Reich. The paper clip collection quickly rose to 11,000,000 for all those killed during the Holocaust.

Since the beginning of The Paper Clip Project, paper clips have been sent from all over the world and the number today is around 30,000,000. What began as a study about prejudice turned into a global project that pays tribute and continues to remind us about the evils of hatred.

I have always been intrested in the project and now I'm going to finally enjoy seeing the film for the first time.

I saw the documentary some time ago. It's incredibly moving.

Actually people DO respond and make sport out of seeing how far they can string these folks along. It's called Scambaiting. I've done it a couple of times from my Yahoo email account (since the only email I get there is spam). I've had people try to send me 'certificates' allegedly showing how I'm supposed to be the recipient of some fantastic amount of money. What's really funny about that is that I've completely sanitized that email address--so the name is blank, just the email address but I have a quote from Michael Shermer and I attribute it as such so they think that is my name (even though my email address is *obviously* feminine--ladyfractal).

Dear folks who are engaging in drama,

It is NOT cute or witty to post shitty/negative things on our forums in order to poke at each other. It's actually against our TOS and even if you aren't "naming names", we aren't stupid, so please stop behaving in ugly ways and making us come in here and ask you nicely to have more respect for our forums.

This goes for ALL of the people engaging in negative shittiness.

Also, please do not report posts and then break our TOS by doing the exact same thing that you just reported. It kinda makes me want to scream.

Thanks,
Admin

Interesting because I'm Jewish and have heard about this paper clip project in my Temple but its good to know that others learn of this tragedy too.
