COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — What started as a class project about the Holocaust is now a program recognized by federal and state legislators, Holocaust organizations and students all over the world.
May 6-13, 2024 is known as Days of Remembrance, which is the week of Holocaust Remembrance Day. Markus started the week by placing this paper clip onto her shirt. It's a tradition she created over 20 years ago.She taught middle school at Timberview Middle School in Colorado Springs.She said for many of her students, this was the first time they learned about the Holocaust and how people stood against it.
They chose a paperclip because Markus and her class learned people in Nazi-occupied Germany during WWII used paper clips as a sign of opposition.
