But I live

Miriam Libicki Charlotte Schallié Gilad Seliktar Barbara Yelin

Three children survive the Holocaust According to the memories of Emmie Arbel, David Schaffer, Nico and Rolf Kamp

As a child Emmie Arbel survived both Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen. David Schaffer escaped the genocide in Transnistria simply because he didn’t abide by the rules. Young brothers, Nico and Rolf Kamp, hid from sure death as many as thirteen times in the Netherlands. Three internationally recognised artists have worked with survivors to tell their stories through the medium of the graphic novel, creating a compelling picture of what the Holocaust meant for children – and not only for them.

Few Holocaust survivors are still with us. And most experienced the trauma of persecution and mass murder while still children. This book aims to preserve and hand on their recollections in a truly innovative way, suited to a young readership, while at the same time breaking the mould of established perspectives. In concise and informative epilogues, experienced historians add the context to each story and the graphic novel style brings events to life with a clarity that surpasses traditional presentation.

‘The most powerful graphic novel about the Holocaust since ‘Mouse’ by Art Spiegelman.’ James E Young
