challenging dark emotional fast-paced

4.0

We’ll Soon Be Home Again has the testimonies of six survivors of the Holocaust that are presented in comicbook form.

I found this to be a bit choppy here and there. I would be in the middle of reading about being in the concentration camps and the next page would be about being in a refugee camp in Sweden. I was reading an ebook version and I would constantly be sliding back and forth between my pages thinking I was missing some.

It has good illustrations and it was able to show things that the current narrator/speaker weren’t always talking about. The way other victims of the Holocaust were drawn - skeletons, hollowed, sunken eyes - those are images that have stayed in my head. 

This graphic novel is aimed towards young readers and it hit that marketing point well. It shows the horrors of the Holocaust in all its grim without being overbearing. It’s a great door opener for more conversations.
