Monument: The Children's Holocaust Memorial (from the movie Paper Clips)

What is the significance of all the details of the monument (what they put inside, how they decorated it, etc.)
What else is inside besides paper clips?
How does this monument differ from other Holocaust monuments?
What is the significance of the place the monument was built (small-town Tennessee)
Does the fact that the monument was built by children make it any different than a regular monument?
Did anyone in the town object to the monument being built?
The follow-up story: what happened after they made the movie? Has the school done anything else to commemorate more events in history?
Why paper clips? (i know we read a little bit about this)
Did they have extra paper clips?
How long did it take?
How many visitors do they get a year? avg
