bookwyrmknits's review against another edition

3.5

This is a hard book to rate. It's an important book, and worth reading. It really does show a lot of the trauma that was left after the Holocaust, even for the survivors. But while I'm glad I read it, it's hard to say that I enjoyed it. How can you say you "enjoyed" reading about such a horrific time in human history, even when it's told in an otherwise enjoyable style? I liked the art style a lot, that's for sure. I connected to the people and their story. I definitely recommend the book (though start with the first one), but remember that it's not an easy subject matter even though it's in graphic novel format.

sometimes you read a story that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. you’re overwhelmed with emotions and sit in silence not knowing what to do or say. i truly cannot fathom all the treacherous things that were told, but it’s important that we know and never forget that they happened. therefore this story must continue to live on and blow its future readers’ minds.
