Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This extraordinary graphic novel tells the true stories of six Jewish children and young people who survived the Holocaust.
Between 1933 and 1945, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party were responsible for the persecution of millions of Jews across Europe. From suffering the horrors of Auschwitz, to hiding from Nazi soldiers in war-torn Paris, to sheltering from the Blitz in England, each true story is a powerful testament to the survivors' courage. These remarkable testimonials serve as a reminder never to allow such a tragedy to happen again.

"Originally published in Great Britain by Franklin Watts, an imprint of Hachette Children's Group, part of the Watts Publishing Group"--Title page verso.
"In a time when people were ruthlessly persecuted and killed, some were able to make it through alive. Whether it was thanks to lucky twists of fate or the loving sacrifices of others, they lived to tell their stories, which serve as reminders to never allow such a tragedy to happen again. These are the unbelievable true stories of six children, in their own words, of how they survived one of the darkest times in human history"-- Provided by publisher.
