I think that this book belongs with Maus in every bookcase."" -- Tobi Dahmen, comic artist and illustrator * www.tobidahmen.de * ""The superb, heart-rending book But I Live: Three Stories of Child Survivors of the Holocaust collects the testimonies of four survivors in a graphic narrative format for new generations. It is a powerful and indispensable educational tool not just for high school students, for whom it was designed, but for anyone. Readers can now carry these indelible stories forward."" * <em>Quill & Quire</em> * ""The graphic narratives in But I Live are powerful and relate the Holocaust stories in profound and intense ways that words alone cannot. Created for middle readers, this book is suitable for adults too."" -- Beverly Cramp * <em>BC BookWorld</em> * ""The combination of stories and artwork is powerful and chilling."" -- Dean Poling * <em>Valdosta Daily Times</em> * “Who should read this book? Young adults, for sure. But also teachers. Makers of memorials and exhibitions. Historians, literary and art scholars, everyone.” -- Christian Staas * <em>Die Zeit</em> * ""Last week I was given a gift of sadness, a gift of violence, fear, tragedy and suffering…But it was also a gift of courage, extraordinary determination, unimaginable resilience, and ultimately triumph…The gift came in the form of a recently published collection of three graphic novellas called But I Live. It is a remarkable achievement bringing together four survivors with three writer/illustrators who help portray the harrowing journey of the survivors’ young lives."" -- Chris * <em>In a Spacious Place</em> * “But I Live is a uniquely conceived and structured work that explores new possibilities for Holocaust representation at a moment in history that will see the end of direct survivor testimony. It is distinguished by its multigenre, polyphonic layering of perspectives and forms of representation, organizing a deeply engaging dialogue among survivors, graphic artists, and scholars, who, in concert, arouse, mediate, and reckon with the traumatic past.” -- Victoria Aarons, Trinity University * <em>Holocaust and Genocide Studies</em> *" """I'm convinced that we need more books like this, so that we can preserve a terrible history in a way that makes it easily accessible on the one hand, but also allows a different, very personal access to the stories on the other.
