Six Million Rectangles

Each One a Life Remembered

Six Million Lives.

One Global Act of Remembrance.

The Six Million Project invites people around the world to take part in a collective artwork— each small rectangle representing one Jewish life lost in the Holocaust.

Watch the story behind the project.

"For the first time, all six million are visible—every life represented, every rectangle painted by hand, forming a single, powerful memorial that can be seen in its entirety."

– Liora Blum, Founder    

How the Project Comes Together

Every page you colour becomes part of something much bigger.

Each small A4 page contains hundreds of hand-painted rectangles. Once completed, the pages are scanned and digitally assembled into one large artwork — one of 100 monumental pieces representing the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

Thousands of individual pages are needed to complete the full collection.

What begins as simple colouring transforms into powerful collective remembrance.

750,920

rectangles painted

Each rectangle represents one life remembered.

Participants around the world paint small rectangles that together form 100 panels of 60,000 rectangles each — representing the six million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust.

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.
