The Six Million Project
TINY RECTANGLES, MONUMENTAL REMEMBRANCE
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.
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.

This is how the project will look in the end.
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. So far, 6 panels have been completed – with 96 panels to go!!!
