Children are the innocent victims of adult hatred, ignorance, and bigotry. During the Holocaust, 1939-1945, 1.5 million Jewish children were murdered. No child should ever be a victim again.
"How can a person not be moved by compassion...and above all how can anyone who remembers remain silent?"

Regarding Worldwide Daffodil Project. The Daffodil Project aspires to build a worldwide Living Holocaust memorial by planting 1.5 million daffodils in memory of the 1.5 million Jewish children who perished in the Holocaust and in support of children who continue to suffer in humanitarian crises and genocides around the world today.
The Daffodil Project was started in Atlanta, Georgia, in the Fall of 2010 with the initial planting of 1,800 daffodils. To date, we have engaged thousands of people at over 565 locations and planted over 987,500 daffodils worldwide.

The Daffodil Project symbolizes the strength and resilience of the human spirit and makes us face, head-on, the importance of the obligation we each have to uphold justice.
Hate crimes and crimes against humanity continue to plague our society and our world. We hope that the daffodils serve as a beacon of hope and a constant reminder to stand up in the face of injustice and hatred.
