1.5 Million Buttons Needed

1.5 Million Buttons Needed

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Moriah College needs 1.5 million buttons to build a Holocaust button memorial sculpture.

The button maze will represent confusion and panic, the walls will be filled with the 1.5 million buttons, one button for every child murdered in the Holocaust. The centre will be lit by a candle surrounded by the words of a Holocaust survivor.

“In a time like the Holocaust its like living in a pitch black room, but every time someone does something for you its like someone coming in and lighting a candle. you need to focus on the light”.

The National Army Museum will be supplying a button container in the “Anne Frank” exhibition. We invite everyone who visits us to bring any spare buttons they have to put in the container. These buttons will be forwarded to Moriah College to help them achieve building this fitting memorial for many children lost in the Holocaust.
