One person can change the world! This statement rings true in this arresting and moving documentary by Elliot Berlin and Joe Fab. If you are a high school principal, teacher, administrator, student, or even professor, this film is a MUST SEE. It chronicles the efforts of Whitwell middle school(a tiny school in the middle of a tiny town in rural Appalachian Tennessee) and an Assistant Principal and Teacher who brought the idea of collecting 6 million paper clips to their school Principal as a class project. The Paper Clips would represent each of the 6 million Jews who were killed during the Holocaust. The Principal accepts the idea, and the teachers slowly begin to educate their students in regard to the Holocaust. Word slowly begins to spread from this little town in Tennessee and soon people all over the world are sending paperclips to this small school, including celebrities like Tom Hanks, Tom Bosley, Bill Cosby, and others.
Over the course of four years, awareness of the destructiveness of the Holocaust and its effect on the world begins to take root in the teachers, the students, the Principals, and the whole community of mostly white Protestant Americans in this film. By the end of this movie, the reality of the devastation that prejudice and hatred can cause is grasped not only by the students and teachers of Whitwell Middle School, but by the viewers of the movie as well. Added to the documentary are visits to the school by Holocaust survivors who share their stories with the students, teachers, and people from the community. All are moved to tears. Peter Schroeder and his wife, Dagmar Schroeder-Hildebrand, and a journalist for the Washington Post partner with Whitwell Middle school to spread their Paper Clip Holocaust awareness project to the world. NBC news picks up the story and the paperclips start pouring in, each with a story of survival or loss attached to it. Most moving is when Peter and Dagmar search all over Germany for an actual rail car that transported the Jews to the death camps. Successful, they ship the rail car all the way to Tennessee to Whitwell High School and a memorial is built in memory of the Jews and others who died in Nazi Germany. “As I stepped in the car I could feel the souls crying out,” are the words of the Principal as she steps into the haunting rail car. I too had the same feeling from my couch as the camera panned through the rail car. The little school had received over 24 million paperclips, and I was moved to tears as they poured the paperclips into the rail car memorial. I envisioned each paper clip representing an actual person whose life had been cut short by hatred, prejudice, jealousy and greed. Imagine the population of whole cities or states totaling 6 million people were all wiped away in a matter of 5 or 6 years. Imagine the devastation to the families and friends of these people. This film is a powerful tool that can be used to teach future generations of children, students, teachers, and humanity of the importance of treating others the way you want to be treated.

Excellent dvd ! I Think everyone should watch it. Especially kids that are old enough to understand and adults too. We tend to forget the horror that people have faced if we haven’t experienced it ourselves.
Paper Clips – S. S. Prendys – Newport, RI
I watch a lot of documentaries, but, this one should be in a position apart from the usual fare. (Kind of like the Griswold’s Christmas tree, by itself in the forest, with a heavenly-light emitting from it.) After borrowing a copy from my state library, I ordered my own, from Amazon.com, that very day. I’m having it make the rounds of the homes of my four daughter’s,in two different states, my six siblings in five states, my parents, in Florida, my siblings-in-law, all in New York, to finally be given to my eighty-six year old mother-in-law, also in New York. She was born in the Ukraine, moved with her mother and brother to Poland, where, as a teenager, she was taken by invading Nazis and placed in one their infamous camps, where she met the man who would, after liberation, become her husband. I feel that it is important for everyone that I love, and more important, for everyone my mother-in- law loves, to view this documentary. Along with the film traveling via manila envelopes, I’m enclosing large paper clips for each person. without telling them why. They’ll need to watch the film to find the answer. I recommend “Paper Clips” to all inhabitants of this planet, especially children, so maybe the bad habit of intolerance can be nipped in it’s poisonous bud, sooner, rather than later; if ever.
