A Lego timeline of the Holocaust has been making waves across the internet after being created as part of a 16-year-old's history project.
The pupil, from St Helens, shared his collection of more than a dozen pictures online and has since been contacted by people around the globe.
He told the Liverpool Echo: “My history teacher set us a task to create something that will help people remember the Holocaust, as every history GCSE student in the country has to study it.
“I decided not to make a poster, but to make a timeline. This would help me to remember the dates better.

“As I’m not a very good drawer I thought why not do something I am good at?
"One Sunday afternoon later I was ready to print out the photos and stick them together in school.
“I’m pretty overwhelmed by the reaction online; there’s been a huge variance in what people think about it.
"Usually my photos and creations get a few hundred views, so it was certainly a surprise to wake up to 275,000 views.”
