From 1996 to 2000, students at the Community Day School in Pittsburgh collected 6 million aluminum pop tabs to commemorate the Jews killed in the Holocaust. From 2001-2005, invited artist Elena Hiatt Houlihan guided the students in designing a sculpture which, after much research, will consist of 960 glass blocks filled with the tabs.
Students used cardboard and clay to create their design concepts, 2001.
