This graphic book presents the brief, heartfelt autobiographies of six Jewish teenagers who recorded their deepest thoughts just before the Holocaust.

I love memoirs of all kinds, especially those that offer an intimate perch from which to learn about a wider world.
These teenagers did not know the fate that would soon befall them – but the reader does. This makes the reading experience unspeakably moving.
