In 1998, eighth graders in Whitwell, Tennessee tried to understand what 6 million lives actually meant. So they started collecting paperclips. 30 million arrived. From around the world. Each one attached to a name. A story. A person. An authentic German railcar now stands at their school — filled with paperclips — and thousands walk through it every year. This is the hidden history of a small town that refused to let the world forget. #hiddenhistory #Holocaust #ww2history #holocaustmemorial #neverforget #jewishhistory #historyshorts #wwii #historyfacts #historydocumentary
