‘Harry Potter’ Star Daniel Radcliffe Donates Glasses to Holocaust Memorial

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has donated his spectacles and a hand-written letter to a new exhibition commemorating the Holocaust. The actor, whose mother is Jewish, has given his first pair of glasses – worn when he was six years old – to an art exhibit to mark National Holocaust Day on 27 January (08). One of the most distinctive and memorable parts of the Harry Potter character is, of course, his round glasses donned by countless Potter fans. So this donation by Radcliffe is especially fitting to the project.

The exhibit is based on photographs of mounds of glasses left at Auschwitz by victims of the tragic time in history. The celeb spectacles and glasses from members of the public will be linked together in the shape of a railway track — recalling the trains that carried many of the Nazis’ victims to concentration camps throughout Europe.

Other celebrities donating glasses to this exhibit include comedian Stephen Fry, Yoko Ono and Jerry Springer. The work will soon be on display in Liverpool, England
