Many people question the value of a penny and how such a small amount can make a difference.
The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life is collecting pennies for their project, a memorial to the lives lost during the Holocaust. Hillel's goal is to collect 1.5 million of the pennies by Yom HaShoa, Holocaust Remembrance Day, on April 13, 1999. Keller said this number symbolizes the children that died in the Holocaust. The penny collection began at the Kristallnacht, The Night of the Broken Glass, commemorated on Nov. 6. I think it's important for the Holocaust to be remembered.
