About
Meet Liora Blum
Liora Blum is a graphic designer and artist living in Israel. Her father, Sanyi Glazer z"l, was a Holocaust survivor. Her grandfather, Jenö Glazer z"l, whom she never got to meet, was one of the millions who perished.
Six million was always an incomprehensible number in her life but she needed to see it. As an artist, she began to explore this massive number through painting. "I thought," says Blum, "if I painted six million brush strokes, what would they look like all packed together?" That is how The Six Million Project was born.
To craft a living artwork that nurtures empathy and instills a dedication to safeguard our common humanity in a world where Jew-hatred rages in major cities around the world.
Vision
Mission
To forge a deep emotional bond with every Jewish life lost during the Holocaust by hand-painting six million rectangles. This connection will transcend cold statistics and help us to understand the number 6,000.000.
The Story of the Six Million Project
Liora Blum, a passionate graphic designer from Israel, has a vision that transcends pixels and paper. Liora's journey began with a simple yet profound question: How can we truly comprehend the loss of six million lives in the Holocaust? Determined to find an answer, she embarked on a mission to create something extraordinary — The Six Million Project.
Liora didn't just want to create another memorial; she wanted to craft an experience, a living, breathing tribute to those who perished. And so, she started painting tiny rectangles, each one representing a life tragically cut short. But she didn't stop there. Liora invited communities to join her, turning the act of painting into a collective journey of remembrance and healing.
The Six Million Project is more than art; it's a movement. From bustling events in Israel to planned gatherings all over the world, people from all walks of life are coming together to paint, reflect, and remember. Each brushstroke is a tribute, each color a story. Through this project, Liora has created a powerful way to honor the past while fostering unity and understanding in the present.
Liora’s story is a testament to the power of creativity and community. She turned her grief into a global initiative, proving that art can bridge gaps, heal wounds, and keep memories alive. Join Liora and be part of this extraordinary journey.
This is not just a project; it’s a movement. It’s Liora’s dream, and now, it can be yours too.
