It’s amazing how little things often hide the greatest stories & it cannot get better than the story of humble Paperclip.This simple device that has been binding papers & manuscripts for ages was once used as a symbol of resistance against the Nazi Govt. by Norwegian students. 
Back in 1940 when Hitler’s army occupied Norway first thing they did was to destroy the local culture. School teachers were bullied into joining the Nazi Party and asked to push the Nazi agenda in their classrooms.
In an unexpected chain of events,when the images of the Royal family was banned by the Nazi State,the students of Oslo University stood up with a surprising method of resistance.They wore a simple Paperclip on their collar as a symbol of resistance against the mighty Adolf Hitler
The wearing of paperclips was outlawed and could lead to arrest and punishment. A Paperclip symbolizes unity and solidarity. It binds papers, it binds people, it binds stories.
