| Movie Haiku: | Looking for a project to teach “tolerance,” rural Middle School principal selects the Holocaust, & is then confronted with one student’s profoundly simple question: What is “six million”? Documentary succeeds where so many fail, fully capturing the Holocaust’s statistical/bureaucratic uniqueness. Paper clips become symbols of hope linking past and future.
