It was a lengthy article and I will send it to anyone who wants it, but here are the pertinent points (you could also go to about.com and do a search for Whitwell): The small town has almost no racial diversity - very fundamentalist Christian - - zero Jews. They started an after school class on the Holocaust, many of the people hadn't even heard of it. Now they are collecting 6 millions paper clips in order to build a memorial commemorating the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. The reason they are using paper clips is that after the Nazis invaded Norway, many courageous Norwegians expressed solidarity with their Jewish fellow citizens by pinning ordinary paper clips to their lapels. If you would like to contribute paper clips, send them to: Whitwell Middle School Holocaust Project Atten: S. Roberts/D. Smith 1130 Main Street Whitwell, TN 37397 They will be collecting until 12/31/01 As of 3/14/01 they have collected 2,108,622 paper clips. Thanks.
