The
Six Million Project

PAINTING MILLIONS, HONORING LIVES

This is an artistic endeavor to honor each of the victims of the Holocaust. By bringing communities to hand-paint six million tiny rectangles, the project aims to show what this overwhelming number looks like, while fostering empathy and combatting 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.

Online Viewing

This project aims to scan every canvas and connect each rectangle to a Holocaust victim – a face, a name, a story.

​

By making this accessible online, we connect to the individual humanity within this vast number.  The project could serve as a potent instrument of empathy in addressing the rising global tide of antisemitism and combatting Holocaust denial.
