Its form, the cartoon, succeeds perfectly in shocking us out of any lingering sense of familiarity with the events described, approaching, as it does, the unspeakable through the diminutive.

sempre impressionante ler histrias que se passem nesta poca, e fico sempre arrepiada por ver como as pessoas estavam dispostas a fazer certas coisas. :( Gostaria que a arte tivesse sido um pouco melhor. No deixa de ser um livro que vale a pena ler :) I don't read much Holocaust Literature nowadays. In my teens and twenties, I read everything I could get my hands on on the Third Reich and the Middle Ages, as I had an abnormal urge to seek out the darkness in human souls. I was repelled and at the same time, fascinated by it - like people drawn irresistibly towards gruesome road accidents.As... Oh my! This book makes me want to read every interview with the author that I can find. One article I read credits this book (and two others) with changing the public's perception of comics and potentially starting the use of the term "graphic novel."
