A gripping nonfiction graphic novel that follows the stories of Jewish
children, separated from their parents, who escaped the horrors of the
Holocaust. From the Sibert Honor and YALSA Award-winning creator behind
The Unwanted, Drowned City, and others.
In the tightening grip of Hitler's power, towns, cities, and ghettoes
were emptied of Jews. Unless they could escape, Jewish children would
not be spared their deadly fate in the Holocaust, a tragedy of
unfathomable depth. Only 11% of the Jewish children living in Europe
before 1939 survived the Second World War.
Run and Hide tells the stories of these children, forced to leave
their homes and families, as they escaped certain horror. Some children
flee to England by train. Others are hidden from Nazis, sometimes in
plain sight. Some are secreted away in attics and farmhouses. Still
others make miraculous escapes, cresting over the snow-covered Pyrenees
mountains to safety.
Acclaimed nonfiction storyteller Don Brown brings his expertise for
journalistic reporting to the deeply felt personal narratives of Jewish
children who survived against overwhelming odds.
