emotional informative sad tense fast-paced

4.0

This short, children's graphic novel tells the stories of 6 children who survived the Holocaust.  The foreword gives the context of these stories and hopes that readers will think about their own lives and ways they can make a difference in the world.  The illustrations are unique and really capture the fear the children felt.  The words were understandable for young readers, but did not shy away from describing the children's emotions and Nazi's brutality.  At the end of the book, there are photographs of the survivors (as adults) and what happened to them after the war.  Backmatter includes a glossary, timeline of events pre through post WWII, index, and websites.
