Piecing Together History: Teen Recreates Nazi Holocaust in Lego

History can be a tricky topic to teach, especially when it comes to more sensitive areas like the rise of Hitler in Nazi Germany. However, one highschool student from the UK managed to come up with a creative, yet informative way to present the timeline of the Holocaust with dioramas made entirely of Lego.

John Denno, a 16 year old teen from Liverpool, had to complete a project about World War II, but was worried that his artistic skills, or lack thereof, might drag his grade down. To work around it, he created scenes from the war instead using Lego sets. His teacher and mother were impressed by his work and so are others who were able to see his creations on his imgur and flickr accounts and on reddit.
