The Movie

Paper Clips

Thoughts about the movie Butterflies Paperclip Museum

Dear Global Dreamers,
On Monday April 13, 2009 we watched a movie about the holocaust.  Well, it was mostly about some kids from a middle school in Tennessee who send letters to people who survived the holocaust if they could send in paperclips.  When they were done somebody donated a Trailer that they used in World War 2 as something to take people to the Concentration Camp. In that Trailer they tried to fit over 100 people, many people did not make it because they suffocated. So then they transported that to their school then they made a sidewalk with butterflies on the sidewalk. They put butterflies on the sidewalk because they believe that butterflies are free.  Then they emptied all the paper clips inside the cart and made it kind of like a holocaust museum with only paperclips.

Dear Global Dreamers,
We saw a movie that was about the Holocaust and there were kids from Tennessee in United States and they asked people and famous people and they collected 29,000,000 (29 million) paperclips and someone donated a rail car and they made it into a museum kind of thing. Not really a museum just a thing with a gate around it and they would open the gate to let certain people in, and they had all of there paper clips in the rail car. They had a wooden ramp that would go into the rail car so you could inside the rail car, and the rail car was from the Consecration Camp. Your globaldreamer friend,

Dear Global Dreamers,

We are so sorry if you lost relatives in the holocaust.  Our class watched a movie that was about the holocaust and there was a class of 8th graders that collected over 6 million and they bought a rail car that hauled people to camps were they where held prisoner so they put 11 thousands paperclips in there. You should see the movie.  It will touch you so much.

 

Dear Globaldreamers

We know that six million Jewish people died. The class and I saw a video about Paper Clips . We understand this memorial day now.
