The Project
The Six Million Project is a participatory art memorial honoring the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Participants paint rectangles on paper which 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.
A growing global memorial
The Six Million Project continues to expand through worldwide participation. Each completed page increases the scale and visibility of the collective memorial.
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.
