1. Share two details you learned from this documentary that had the most impact on you.
2. Did "Paper Clips" help you to further understand "The Diary of Anne Frank?"
__Student #1 __I learned that the Nazi's used to burn and gas the Jews. I thought that was very cruel. I also learned that a doctor chose wheather you would live or be killed. I didn't think it helped me understand the story but I thought helped me understand what the consetration camos were like, an how terrible they must have been.

Student #5 Two details of the story, Paperclips, were: One, The people spent so much time, doing the project! It was so amazing. Two, The kids were all involved, and they all wanted to help. That's really cool from my perspective. But the paperclips didn't really relate to the Diary of Ann Frank. Atleast to me.

__Student #6__ I didn't know that hitler killed people other then Jews like Homosexuals and other people. I also thought it was interesting that they found an actual transport of Jews during the war! Paper Clips didn't really help me understand "The Diary of Anne Frank".

Student #7 Two things from the movie Paper Clips that had a big impact on me were how the Jews were all crammed in a small train and sent to a Concentration Camps . Another thing that had a big impact on me was how they Stripped the Jews and threw them in Gas Chambers and killed them .Yes the movie Paper Clips helped me understand Anne Frank more because it told more of what happened to the Jews .
Responses to Student #7:
1. I agree that it must have felt pretty bad crammed in to that small compartment with 100 other people! It would be very uncomfortable! (16)
__Student #8 __I learned that there were 6000000 Jews killed and I thought there would have been a lot less. 6 mill. is a lot! I also learned that Hitler killed so many people, because he didn’t like their beliefs. The paper clip movie helped me to understand “Anne Franks Diary” because it told be what they did to the Jews. I would have been scared to.
Responses to Student #8:
1. I would have been scared to. Especially coming to the camps and go to the left. (11)
2. (Student #12) - Yes, 6000000 is a very large number. Hitler was very evil to kill that many people. :(
3. He actually killed a total of 11,000,000. Thi****s number included Jews, gypsies, and homosexuals. I know it would be hard for me to stay with my beliefs if I was confronted to go to a death camp like Auschwitz. #9
Student #9 I learned that 11 million people were killed during Hitler’s reign. I also learned that some people who were Jews, gypsies, and homosexuals were told to go right or left by the doctor. Left was the gas chamber. Paper clips helped me understand the play more because I learned more about Hitler and his death camps.
Responses to Student #9:
1.I learned those same things, but the movie didn't help me understand the play better. #20

#11:Two details that impacted me the most is the fact that 6 million Jews were killed and another 5 million that were also killed for many other reasons. It kind of also impacted me and showed me what kind of step humans have reached in not caring to kill 11 million people and not caring in the amount of bloodshed that is being done. “Paper clip” did help me understand Anne Frank a little more because it kind of showed me what Anne Frank went through after she got taken to the concentration camp based on what the survivors told.
Responses to Student
1. It impacted me also Its crazy how Hitler killed 11 million people . (7) da lucky #
Student #12 In the movie, “Paper clips”, I think it was awesome how much work the 8th graders in Tennessee put into the paper clip project. I also think it was amazing that they were able to collect several million paper clips in honor of the Jews and other people killed by the Nazis. “Paper clips” really helped me understand “The Diary of Anne Frank” better because the movie showed me real stories of Jews that were in the concentration camps. It showed me how bad the Nazis truly were.
Responses to Student #12:
1. I still can't believe a little town in Tennesee made something that amazing. I learned last year though that not all Nazis were bad they just didn't want Hitler to Kill them. #6

Student #14 One of the things from the documentary that really left an impact on me was the train car. Just looking at it and knowing its history and where its been was freaky. The fact that that car held about 100 people and they were being taken to a camp and even to their death impacted me so much. I can’t imagine what thoughts and how strong those emotions were that those people were having. I was about to cry. Another this is the paper clips. Seeing all of those clips scared me because that many people died, and they didn’t even do anything wrong. Its like being charged guilty without a trial and you didn’t even do anything and then you die. Its horrible and I could never imagine what it was like. After seeing the movie I understand a lot more of everything that happened. The kids were right. You don’t know what six million looks like and you can’t even begin to imagine it and think you know it until you really see it. It’s a scary thought to even think about. Anne and some of her family were those paper clips. And they shouldn’t have been.

I TOTALLY AGREE! I can't imagine being in one of those cars! (8)
#1 MEE too i would have freaked out if i were in one of those carts crammed with 100+ people that i didn't even know.

Student #16 Two things that impacted me the most were that million people died! I never new it was so many. Also I didn’t know that at the camps they basically sized you up and said if you could live or die. After watching the movie I now understand the huge amount a fear everyone had, not just the Jewish people but everyone who was caught that was doing something ‘bad’ was sent to concentration camps.
Responses to Student #16:
1. I agree with you that the Jewish people must have been really scared of being put in the concentration camps. It must have been a terrible feeling, just thinking of being put in a camp, and possibly being killed. (21)
The fact that one person decides if you live or die was absolutely astounding too. (17)
Student #17 I missed the first day that we watched the “Paper Clips” movie. From what I did see the train car really hit home for me. Something about seeing it and picturing all the starving, abused people. Knowing that Jews pile in to that car and know that their lives would soon be over, I got chills. I can’t even imagine what I would do if that was me. It’s like my brain won’t let me imagine because I don’t think I could handle it. I’m not a person that cries, ever but thinking about all those lives, all the people that we lost gets me pretty close. We’ll never know who those people could have been, scientists, astronauts, politicians, world changing men and woman that we no longer get the privilege of knowing. It kills me. I don’t really think that I understand “The Diary of Anne Frank” better now. Maybe I just understand the Holocaust as a whole better, that’s probably it.

Student #19 Two things that had an impact on me; that’s hard, the whole movie really did. The story about the man and his mom, brother, and younger brother really affected me. I don’t know what I would do in that position. I would most likely go crazy if anything half as bad as that happened to me. Also when they got the railcar and said that 100 Jews had to ride in it, I was shocked. Is that even physically possible? I just don’t understand how someone can be that prejudiced. It scars me that that kind of evil exists in the modern world. This movie showed that but it also showed that there is good in the world, always.
This movie did help me further understand what the Jews and others went through. I still don’t fully “get” it because I haven’t lived through it and would never want to. I am starting to understand it better and this movie really helped. I still can’t imagine what that would be like, but I’m starting to realize that people can be that evil. Hitler was a great leader; he just used his power in wrong ways. He gave Germany a better economy, but he was power hungry, prejudiced, and hateful. I think that is why he lost all of his power.
Responses to Student #19:
1. I agree. If my family got split up and I didn't even know where they were going then to find out that one way lead to death and I was spared then I would be devastated. I wouldn't know what to think. (14)
Student #20 I learned a little from paper clips. It amazes me that so many people participated in the project and sent paperclips. I didn’t know that Hitler gassed people other than Jews like gypsies and homosexuals. I thought it was amazing how they actually found a train car that was used in the holocaust. The movie didn’t help me understand The Diary of Anne Frank better at all.

Student #21 While watching the movie, “Paper Clips,” I learned several new things. The movie has taught and helped me understand how terrible the Jews were treated once they were placed in the concentration camps. I’ve also learned that there were people there at the camps that decided whether a person lived or died, and that about six million people were put to death.
The movie, “Paper Clips,” helped me to further understand Anne Frank, because it helped me picture some of the things that Anne and her family might have gone through.
Responses to Student #21:
1. The movie also showed me how terrible the Jews were treated and I don't want to believe that someone would be that evil. But you have to believe it because it happened. (19)
2. I agree with all that you said. But the only connection I got with the movie and the story was that they both had to do with holocost.#5
Student #22One thing that really impacted me about the movie, Paper Clips, was the stories the old men and women told about when they were in the concentration camps. We didn’t hear much of it, but during the little we heard the people got so emotional and I tried to picture myself in that position. I couldn’t. I honestly couldn’t imagine what they had to go through. How they got separated from their family, how they found how their loved ones were killed. It just really made me think about how glad I am to be living in a free country. Paper Clips didn’t exactly help me understand the Diary of Anne Frank more because I understood what was going on clearly, but it did give me a better idea about how they all must have felt. Living in fear that the Nazis would find them and send them to a concentration camp. No one knows if you’re going to live or die there. Every sound or slamming door must’ve sent chills up they’re spines, because it could be the German soldiers.
