In WWII, the Nazis killed 6 million people. now there is a group on Flickr that wants to collect portraits of 6 million people as a reminder of the Holocaust.
"The goal of this group is to collect 6 million pictures of different people, with one person in each picture, as a representation of the massive number of Jews the Nazis murdered during World War and to help remember both them and the other victims of Nazi Germany."
"Please help us remember the holocaust dutifully and respectfully by adding your photos-- of you, your loved ones and others-- to our pool. Add as many photos as you want, but please submit no more than 1 picture of any person, so that in the end we will have close to 6 million pictures of people, with a different person the subject of each picture. It's going to take a long time to add up to 6 million pictures—that's 200,000 Flickr pages with 30 images each—but our goal is 6 years or less. When we complete the project, it will be a memorial to those who died, and will provide us a with a way to visualize all those people."
Nice initiative. I think it will take them less then the 6 years that they are putting forward as the deadline.
