One of my greatets fears is that because places like the UN give an audience to Holocaust deniers, some day the history books will tell a very different story.
This is such an awesome thing to do, on so many levels....the cause itself is worthy, but think how exciting the children will be to have so many responses from all over the country. And think how much this will help them realize how important it is to do good things all their lives....and think especially of how important it is to keep the memory alive of each child slaughtered during the Holocaust.
For the price of a stamp and a penny, you can do all these things! And I bet you anything a dollar is cheaper to mail than a penny....

Thank you so much for posting this - you are right! Our students are so excited about this project and are also excited that they are able to help others. We have 55,000 pennies thus far; we know we have quite a ways to go and thanks so much for helping us!
