dark emotional tense medium-paced

4.5

It’s hard to imagine living near Germany around 1940.
Even today, with all the legislative persecution of minorities and LGBTQ people, as a straight, white man it’s hard to imagine that anything like Nazi Germany could truly come to pass.

And yet this book hits hard. This is a much lighter book than I imagine part two will be, but still it’s so heavy. Seeing this family go through the war, from disbelief to living in a cellar trying to avoid Auschwitz… it’s heartbreaking.

The art is simple, with different animal species representing different groups of people. And the story is split between the author talking to his father in the present day and showing us the things from the 40s that he is talking about.
