'Paper Clips' - a reminder of lessons to be learned from the Holocaust

'Paper Clips', released on January 22nd, captures how students in a small Tennessee school responded to lessons about the Holocaust - by promising to collect one paper clip for each individual exterminated by the Nazis.

With more than 27 million paper clips from donors around the world, including Bill Clinton, George Bush, Bill Cosby and Tom Hanks, the school then opened a permanent memorial to victims of the Holocaust – a cattle truck, which transported victims to Auschwitz, filled with 11 million paper clips. Their project received world wide attention.

The DVD is released on January 22 to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day.
