Survivors of the Holocaust: (A Graphic Novel) von Kath Shackleton
Note: I received an ARC of this book from the publisher at ALA Annual 2019. I also accessed a digital review copy through Edelweiss.
The art is striking, and I think it does it's job well in telling these stories. I feel like it's a good introduction to the subject, but more of a quick overview than in-depth story.
Hearing stories from survivors of the Holocaust is always an emotional experience. These six stories of young lives, and that of their families, forever changed by war are quick to read but no less emotionally stirring. The author also shares with readers a brief bio of the six survivors that share their story as well as lots of resources. This isn't a fun subject to read about, but this is a work I'd recommend for young readers that are learning about WWII.
Holocaust survivors are people of Jewish descent who survived persecution and attempted genocide by Nazi Germany and its allies during World War II. The term is also used to describe others who were targeted for annihilation because of their race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or political views. Survivors include people who survived concentration camps, stayed in hiding, or escaped to safe territories.
