This was a very affecting book. The stories were all different variations on surviving the Holocaust. Every story is unique, yet almost the same. The descent from normality. The silence of neighbors. The seeming inevitability. These stories must not be forgotten. This can never be allowed to happen again.

Based on interviews with survivors, these six comics show the journeys six children went on through Nazi Europe.

What an amazing, horrifying story. It's hard to really say I enjoyed it, simply because of the subject matter. But it's beautifully made, accurate even when other artists might soften details, and heartrending.

It's terrifying how, even though the people in this stories came from different countries and different social levels, their stories are almost the same. Nazi hate knew no boundaries.

In these times, it's really important that we don't forget these awful lessons. I know I won't be forgetting this book for a long time.

Det är verkligen helt ofattbart att människor, barn har varit med om allt det här hemska. Stått nakna framför soldater, sett sin familj dödas eller dö av svält, levt med en konstant rädsla och ovisshet. En bok som borde läsas och diskuteras i alla skolor. Som de alla säger också: för att vi inte ska glömma och göra om samma misstag.

Ein Buch, sechs verschiedene Geschichten.
Tobias, Livia, Selma, Susanna, Emerich und Elizabeth, damals Kinder nun Zeitzeugen berichten über die Zeit des zweiten Weltkrieges und wie es schleichend ihr komplettes Leben beeinflusst hat.

Viele von uns kennen Geschichten, Erzählungen und Dokumentationen über den Holocaust im zweiten Weltkrieg, nur habe ich selten ein Buch für junge Menschen und Jugendliche gelesen, die es so gut beanschaulicht wie dieses Graphic Novel. Die Texte und Bilder sind einfach, aber prägend dargestellt. Ohne Beschönigung oder schmückende Prosa, erzählt jede Person ihre Geschichte, was mich sehr berührt und bewegt hat. Ein zeitloses Buch bei dem ich mir gut vorstellen kann, dass es für mehr Achtsamkeit und auch eine bewusstere Wahrnehmung sorgen kann.
Als Jugendliche hätte ich es mir ergänzend zum Geschichtsunterricht gewünscht.
Definitiv ein must-read
