At Spruce Middle School in northern Maine, students have filled a glass display window with more than 156,000 erasers in memory of Holocaust victims and they’re just getting started.

Sergio said after showing her students the documentary Paper Clips two years ago, her students wanted to do something similar. “They came back with me a half hour later and said ‘can we collect eraser tops? And I said ‘ok what is the significance of the eraser tops?’ And they said they wanted to erase the hatred that Hitler caused,” said Sergio.
