Thanks to the generosity of many SOR members, the Holocaust Stamps Project at Foxborough Regional Charter School in Foxboro, MA announces that it is only 199,672 counted stamps away from reaching the goal (set in 2009) to collect and count 11,000,000 postage stamps as a visual and symbolic way to honor the men, women, and children whose lives were snuffed out in the Holocaust.

As of Sept. 18, 2017, students and community volunteers had trimmed and/or counted 10,800,328 donated stamps. With tens of thousands more in-house and awaiting processing, the HSP officially is announcing NO MORE STAMPS ARE NEEDED!!!!

Plans are underway for how the stamps in excess of the eleven million will be used. None will be discarded!

I'll keep SOR informed in future posts, or you can find regular updates on the Project website and Facebook page.

Your support has been greatly appreciatedApplause

Congratulations Charlotte

what an accomplishment. I am proud that you and school undertook this project, and glad you gave us an opportunity to contribute to it. Many of us will have bits and pieces of stamps having passed through our hands (or tongs) that found their way onto the mosaics commemorating those who suffered this barbarity.
