Possibly the most moving and oddly beautiful exhibition you will see this year has opened at Liverpool Town Hall.
I popped in to the see the RESPECTacles display this morning.
What a fantastic job the organisers have done creating what is a poignant but also a deeply magical exhibit.
The large ballroom is saturated with blue light, the chandeliers are dimmed and the floor is covered in tens of thousands of glasses.
Some are joined to create the Birkenau death camp "train tracks" - they run away, reflected in each of the hall's giant mirrors, to infinity.
When I arrived, volunteers were joining pairs of glasses together - they are hoping to set a Guinness Book of Records target.
They told me a man had dropped in yesterday with 200 pairs of spectacles and labels he printed from the internet, each bearing the name of a child who died in the Holocaust.
Of course there are also the "celebrity" glasses, on display in glass cases.
Terry Leahy sent a long letter with his pair. He said: "Respectacles is a powerful response to the challenge of commemorating the truly unimaginable fear, loss and brutality experienced by the victims of genocide.
"Every pair of spectacles represents a victim, but each pair also represents hope."
And the word 'hope' is also spelt out, in tea lights, on the floor of the hall.
There are also spectacles from members of murdered traveller Johnny Delaney's family.
But Respectacles is only one of the Holocaust-related exhibitions currently on show at the Town Hall.
There is also a film of chilling images and affecting testimonies of survivors, a display by the Association of Jewish Refugees, and an exhibition of photographs taken over a two year period at Auschwitz.
The photographer, John Guy, was there this morning adding a couple of images of Oskar Schindler's Emalia factory to the display.
He told me he had started visiting Auschwitz two years ago after the death of his grandmother. She came to England in 1916 and was always very evasive about her past, but he believes she emigrated from Germany and was actually Jewish. Her tearful reaction to any questioning or images of World War II could mean she lost relatives in the Holocaust.
John has become friends with many of those who work showing people around the death camps, and has managed to get access to areas visitors do not normally go.
It's quite a body of work.
And he is hoping to take the collection of photographs to display in America and eventually turn into a book.
