Six Million Rectangles for Six Million Lives
Join a global movement to honor six million lives through art.
Be part of a powerful tribute – join us to paint an artwork of six million tiny rectangles, each honoring a Holocaust victim, and help create a monumental exhibition that confronts the impact of antisemitism and translates memory into action.
This is how the project will look.
The aim of the project is for the completed painting to be exhibited in one large museum space, allowing us a direct, frontal view of all six million rectangles.
There will be 4 rows of 25 framed pieces. Size: 2.8 x 25m. (82’ × 9’2”).
So far, 7 panels have been completed, with another 6 panels on the go.
"For the first time, all six million are visible—every life represented, every rectangle painted by hand, forming a single, powerful memorial that can be seen in its entirety."
– Liora Blum, Founder

Painting by Hand
Painting a tiny rectangle takes only a few seconds, yet it will take years to paint six million. Each shape holds within it a silent narrative. It encapsulates the essence of a human being – experiences, aspirations, their whole existence.
How do we connect with that rectangle on a profoundly human level? Through painting by hand, this project aims to revive each life and weave together a fabric of the vibrant communities whose voices were silenced.
