Paper Clips Project was created in 2004.

Students began collecting paper clips during the Paper Clips Project to represent the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust. The project aimed to visually understand the magnitude of the tragedy through a tangible symbol.

A group of students from Tennessee collected millions of paperclips in honor of those lost during the Holocaust. The Paper Clip Project became public and celebrities and politicians began sending paper clips to the school. These paper clips were then used to build a memorial for the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust.

6.02 x 10^23 paper clips (602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 p. clips).
