Fight and resist by whatever means available. There is nothing wrong with the art style either. There is something to be said about having the art offer a mildly less harsh counter to a very dark time. If thee knew anything about literary works thee wouldn't whine, but alas, whining is popular nowadays. I would recommend this to any reader who likes both graphic novels and 20th century history. Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via Edelweiss. (  ) pomo58 | Aug 3, 2020 | Israel’s Yad Vashem honored her as “Righteous Among the Nations,” that is Irena Sendlerowa Sendler, a social worker in Poland during the Nazi regime. After being imprisoned and tortured herself, she spent the remaining years of the war rescuing Jewish children by giving them to Christians to disguise as their own. This is a fictionalized story of the danger and horrors of that time and place and one person who was driven to change the future. After the war she devoted her energies to helping those children find their lost parent where possible. She died in 2008 at the age of 98. This beautifully illustrated graphic novel drives home the reality of it all and reinforces Never Again. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Magnetic Press via NetGalley. Thank you, but I will be buying a print copy soon. ( ) jetangen4571 | Jul 20, 2020 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
