THE Repair Shop viewers were left in bits as one of the show's experts took on his most "important" challenge to date.
Book restoring expert Chris Shaw was faced with repairing a Jewish prayer book that had come from a family with a strong connection to World War II.
Gary Fisher told the expert and the show's host Jay Blades how the book had survived the Holocaust and had belonged to his grandparents.
He and his family were living in Vienna, Austria during the time of the war.
Having belonged to his grandparents, Gary explained how during the war, his father had helped to transport a number of children to England in hopes of surviving the treacherous war conditions.
Gary said on the programme: "England at that time, agreed to take 10,000 children called the Kindertransport so my father in 1938 came across on his own and my grandparents were left they couldn't get out of the country."

With his voice cracking, he then heartbreakingly added: "1942 They were taken to the concentration camp.
"It was Terezín in Czechoslovakia. Terezín was a concentration camp that was used to try and show the world that they weren't being treated as badly as they were and yet, a mile further down they were being gassed.
"It was trying to hide the fact that they were converging and killing people and that's where a lot of my family went."
He went onto explain how as it was a "showcase-type" place, they were allowed to take in some personal possessions.
The prayer book was one of the only items they managed to keep with them.
Eventually, Gary was able to posses it once again and had taken great care to look after it.
However, he was hoping to bring some of its illustrations back to their former glory by giving them a shine and bringing it back from its current dull state.
It led to Chris remarking: "It has been the most important book I'll ever repair."
Gary was left overwhelmed by the final product.
Viewers at home were left equally stunned as they admitted they were left deeply moved and "in bits" over the emotionally-charged story.
One wrote online: "Absolutely in bits. What an amazing moment and gesture. #TheRepairShop #HolocaustMemorialDay."
Another went on to say: "That book deserves to be in a museum with an interactive touch/ tablet computer screen. What a piece, of history right there. #therepairshop."

As a third added: "Oh my good grief, the payer book on #TheRepairShop and the man who told the story of his grandparents in a concentration camp."
Before a fourth penned: "This is one episode that deserves a repeat - that Jewish book and poem is of historical significance and I challenge anyone not to get emosh #therepairshop."
