The High School Student Using Lego to Learn—And Teach—About Nazism
This is pretty ingenious. Read More
This is pretty ingenious: John Denno, a 16-year-old from Liverpool in England, has created a series of Lego dioramas about Nazi Germany and World War II for a school assignment. The project is sensitively executed and surprisingly moving, with models covering everything from Hitler’s rise to power, to Kristallnacht, to Auschwitz.
The project required a visual component, but Denno was concerned that his poor drawing skills would put him at a disadvantage, so he decided to build the sets with Lego, “because that is what I’m good at.” He told The Huffington Post, “I can’t draw for the life of me so I thought this would be an interesting way to present the project… I’ve been building, animating and photographing Lego since I was very young.”
