Reviewed by Slings and Arrows: I Survived the Nazi Invasion

I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944
November 7, 2021

The graphic novel received a 3.5 rating from Ian Keogh:

Unlike the two previous I Survived graphic novels a fair amount of historical context is required to explain the how and why of Jewish persecution leading up to and during World War II in the 1930s and 1940s. This is efficiently supplied without greatly interrupting the flow of the ongoing escape, and subsequent pages convey the disagreements among Jewish people, some of whom thought keeping their heads down and appeasing the Nazis would be of greater value than fighting back.

For this third volume it’s pleasing to see new artist Álvaro Sarraseca cover-credited, but that still doesn’t apply to Georgia Ball for adapting the Lauren Tarshis novel, who is only credited inside.
