Ongoing Holocaust Memorial Project
11 Million Hands for 11 Million Lives is an ongoing Holocaust memorial project created by artist Franceska McCullough who wants to humanise the enormity of the individuals killed by the Nazis during World War 2 while bringing cultures all over the world together to remember how valuable all human life is regardless of who we are, what we look like, where we come from or what we believe in.
One hand equals one life and all hands represent all the estimated 11 million Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, Poles, Romani/Sinti, Homosexuals, Africans, non-Europeans, political prisoners, disabled people, Roman Catholics and others killed by the Nazis. This project aims to bring an understanding of equality to all the victims of the Holocaust and never forget anyone because all human life is precious and must be valued despite our differences.
11 Million Hands for 11 Million Lives has been linked up to the charity War Child UK so that all funding generated by this project during its development and after will directly benefit children in need now in today's conflicts so that peace can be achieved for future generations and the past will not be repeated. To donate towards War Child in the name of this project please follow this link: www.justgiving.com/11millionhands
If you would like to join in then please submit a photo of your hands to: www.facebook.com/11millionhands
Please remember to pose your hands cupped together and palm side up for peace to the dead they represent as well as hope to the children of War Child.
