More than 9.2-million canceled stamps later, Holocaust postage project recognized in Boston – For 8 years, students at a Massachusetts charter school have collected stamps to learn about the Shoah — and push back on bullying | Times of Israel

BOSTON — For teachers tasked with introducing the Holocaust to children, a question often heard is, “How many people is six million?”
Since 2009, a charter school southwest of Boston has implemented a project to answer that question. From kindergarten to high school, students at the Foxboro Regional Charter School are working to gather 11-million canceled postage stamps from around the world — one for each victim of the Nazis’ genocidal policies, including the Shoah’s six-million Jewish victims.
