The graphic novel, "Lily Renee, Escape Artist" is the true and remarkable story
of a young woman who was a Kindertransport child and went on to become a
pioneer comic book artist in the United States, one of the first women in this
industry-- and a Jewish one at that! Terrific book for ages 10-14. Lily Renee
is still alive and in her 90s and living in New York City.

Subject: [ha-Safran] kindertransport books
Has anyone read the novel "My Family for the War" by Anne C. Voorhoeve? It is
a fictionalized account of the kindertransport program during WWII. Ever since
Sara's Key, I have been wary of certain fictionalized accounts of WWII events.
A non-Jewish school librarian thinks it is well done and wants to order this
for her school library. I have not read it yet. Please let me know your
thoughts on the book.
Also -- Are there other books dealing with kindertransport that you would
recommend?
Many thanks,
