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.

"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       Six Million Project

There will be 4 rows of 25 framed pieces
Size: 2.8 x 25m. (82’‭ ‬×‭ ‬9’2”)
So far, 6 panels have been completed, with another 4 panels on the go.
There are still 94 panels to go!!!

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.

Watch the story behind the project.

I'm honored to have painted some of those rectangles. Never has it hit home like this before.

This project could unite us Jews of the world as we could show the world that we are more than just a number. We rise and come together through the emptiness and darkness, just like light.

No one can ever really imagine that number but seeing those little squares tonight made it so much more believable about what that number actually is. Looking forward to the next one.
