Week 8 - My Trip to NC and TN

Well, I made it. I've been waiting for a long time to see this. This is the Children's Holocaust Memorial at the Whitwell Middle School in Whitwell, TN. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Whitewell built a new school and created a "house" for the railcar. It is filled with 11 million paperclips in memory of the 6 million jewish people that died in the holocaust and another 5 million for all the other people who died too. In the memorial next to the car houses another 11 million clips that the children collected from all of the 50 states and 7 continents.
