The colours of the ghetto (De kleuren van het getto)

Warschau, October 1940. The part of the city where Misja lives, has been transformed into a ghetto. All the Jews from Warschau and the surroundings are put and imprisoned there. Illness, hunger and deportations gradually exterminate the population. Misja doesn’t want to reconcile himself to the situation. He looks for ways out of the ghetto, brings food to his family and joins the resistance…

An intriguing story. At times both text and illustrations make you gasp for air.
