The film, set at Whitwell Middle School in rural Tennessee, will be shown and then Fab will discuss the work.

Paper Clips is about an extraordinary experiment in Holocaust education.

Struggling to grasp the concept of 6 million Holocaust victims, the students decide to collect 6 million paper clips to better understand the extent of this crime against humanity.

The film details how the students met Holocaust survivors from around the world and how the experience transformed them and their community.

The event is sponsored by the Department of History, Department of English, Jewish Studies Program, KOACH, KESHER and Project Change.
