One Day: A True Story Of Survival In The Holocaust

Leave a reply
This rare story of survival during the Holocaust is based on the real-life account of Eugene Handschub and his father, who were Jews in Paris under Nazi occupation. They escaped from a convoy headed to Auschwitz. The story is told in concise language that children will understand. The somber ink, charcoal, and pencil illustrations in grays and browns reflect the sadness and honesty of the story. mjw
