= Doing the Math = .......Why Toothpicks? ** THE HORRIBLE MATH OF GENOCIDE  ** ** (Genocide: The extermination of a cultural or racial group. //n//)  ** The Holocaust is but one example of genocide. History is filled with examples and so is today’s news. It is very difficult to try to get a picture of just how devastating the Holocaust was. How can we get a human picture of a number that is in the millions? This tooth pick collection is our attempt to understand the Magnitude of the Holocaust's carnage.
