The timeline provided breezes by Swedish collaboration with the Nazis, to spend more time on the Swedish refugee program that brought Jewish survivors to Sweden at the end of the war. Each of the stories ends with that Swedish rescue effort. It makes this seem a little more like self-serving propaganda. As this article shows, Sweden is still not owning its full history even today: https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/europe/.premium.MAGAZINE-is-sweden-censoring-... More egregious, the glossary of this book mentions four times that the Holocaust targeted Jews and Romanians. ROMANIANS? This is a copyediting error that gives a slap in the face to the Roma or Romani people, who were targeted with genocide by the Nazis in conjunction with the Jewish genocide. Highly unfortunate. p.s. One more taint on the project: Dark Horse's English edition was edited by Scott Allie, who was finally fired this year for sexual abuse allegations dating back over a decade.

"The testimonies of six survivors of the Holocaust are presented in comics form, aimed at teenage readers. Some of them were children then, and are still alive to tell what happened to them and their families. How they survived. What they lost--and how you keep on living, despite it all. Jessica Bab Bonde has, based on survivor's stories, written an important book. Peter Bergting's art makes the book accessible, despite its difficult subject. Using first-person point of view allows the stories to get under your skin as survivors describe their persecutions in the Ghetto, the de-humanization and the starvation in the concentration camps, and the industrial-scale mass murder taking place in the extermination camps. When right-wing extremism and antisemitism are being evoked once again, it's the alarm-bell needed to remind us never to forget the horrors of the Holocaust."--Provided by publisher.

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. (
