Andrea Warren
This is a historical account centred on Jack’s testimony, alongside photographs and context about the Holocaust. It follows his imprisonment, efforts to survive, liberation and search for family.
Tanita S. Davis
This is a family story shaped by two generations’ experiences: the sisters’ reluctant journey and Mare’s account of her youth and wartime service.
Helen Mason
This is an informational account of one family's displacement, return and continuing difficulties, set alongside facts about Afghanistan and its people. It also points towards helping refugees who lack permanent homes.
Jake Wizner
This is a deliberately irreverent coming-of-age novel about turning embarrassing experiences into writing. Its comic voice may offer recognition to readers who feel socially awkward, but it includes frank references to sexual subjects and bodily functions.
Allen Say
A richly visual memoir follows Say from childhood in Japan through wartime upheaval and family strain to a serious apprenticeship with cartoonist Noro Shinpei.
Ashley Bryan
This is a visually rich wartime memoir about service, segregation, friendship and artistic persistence.
Peter Lantos
A child’s-eye memoir about displacement, family love and survival, moving from wartime adventure-like discoveries towards the realities of bombing, Bergen-Belsen, starvation, illness and bereavement.
This is a personal investigation into relatives who vanished during the Holocaust. Rosen follows clues, disappointments and discoveries, while poems and family materials give emotional and historical shape to what happened.
