emotional hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

Un graphic novel sulla storia dell'autrice, figlia di ebrei emigrati in Canada dopo essersi conosciuti e innamorati nel campo di concentramento di Auschwitz. Un memoir fatto di parole e disegni, in cui l'autrice ci racconta la sua adolescenza vissuta in una tradizionalista famiglia ebraica, dove le ombre del passato dei genitori, Regina e Ben, rimergono attraverso le continue domande poste dalla stessa protagonista, la quale ha il bisogno di conoscere, di rinnovare la memoria.

The first half was kind of more interesting than the second. I often found myself confused because I didn't understand how everyone was related to each other - a family tree would have been useful. Overall a very powerful read, and I feel very useful for me especially as a Polish person - it's useful to know how vastly different my grandparents' and the author's parents' wartime experiences were, I think.
