What is the Project?

The Six Million Project is a participatory art memorial honoring the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Participants paint tiny rectangles on individual pages that are combined into large-scale collective artworks. Each painted rectangle represents one life. Together, the works transform an unimaginable number into something physical, visible, and human.

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.

לא פחות ממדהים ומצמרר. לנסות לקלוט את הרות ועדיין לא להבין איך העולם שטק. עם ישראל חי!

Astonishing and chilling to the depths of the soul.

We try to grasp the horror and the heart asks: how did the world stay silent? Am Yisrael Chai.
