Loved this book. Lots of interesting information to digest. This is a great read for anyone who loves to read about history. Very well written
This testimony was an interesting, shocking and heartbreaking read, all which meant it was hard to put down. The illustrations drawn by the author added to the reader’s understanding of the harrowing experiences Geve went through.
A sad yet uplifting account of a young boy through out his time in concentration camps. Beautifully written and the pictures are well detailed , shows you a whole different perspective of the concentration camps.
A devastating, heart-breaking account of life at Auschwitz. Had me in tears.
Reading about WW2 is always heart-breaking because I can't fathom how humanity could have ever dropped so low. But this book is also about hope and survival, about what it means to be resilient in the face of barbarity and not let it corrupt your heart.
Thank you NetGalley for the review copy.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC, in exchange for an honest review.
The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz is the heart-wrenching account by Thomas Geve, of the atrocities he witnessed and experienced first-hand whilst imprisoned in three Nazi concentration camps as a boy, and the small, detailed drawings he documented there.
This was a well written, thought provoking read. Sad but also uplifting, showing the strength he had, the friendships he made and the man he became.
