“The mission of PROJECT6MILLION is to honor the six million Jewish men, women, and children murdered during the Holocaust and activate six million people striving toward a world without intolerance.

We will inspire an international movement of at least six million people personally committed to standing up locally and globally against injustice. We will then create a powerful interactive physical memorial that depicts both the scale of six million lives cut short and the six million commitments toward tolerance."

Selected Quotes from Past Participants

By virtue of the total experience, one becomes aware of two basic facts. The interconnectedness of the human experience, and the fragility of life. The Holocaust did not have to happen, and could have been stopped had sensitivity to life been a higher value in German society. This is not a unique sensitivity, and we see many societies today that lack it, and so execute similar fates on minorities in their borders. The understanding that comes with the March means that participants bear responsibility to act, in small or large parts, to promote a more sensitive, caring world.
