Children's & young adult fiction & true stories

Description

The plot is based on the real-life stories of four witnesses of the Holocaust, who experienced it as children. Elements of a graphic novel are used to reflect the drama of the events in the book. To better understand all the nuances of this difficult topic, young readers are assisted by special guides (through the pages of the book), whose roles are played by real-life people Erika Grigorchuk and Oleksiy Fisyuk. The guides are young men and women currently living in a town of Chernivtsi, where the historical events took place. A large group of editors and illustrators worked on the book, and famous Chernivtsi artist Anna Tarnovetska is among them.
