Description

Exodus tells the true story of a young girl's survival during World War II. After her parents were taken by the Nazis, she was forced to fend for herself amidst the destruction in Hungary. In 1947, she found refuge on board the Exodus, a ship carrying over 4,000 Holocaust survivors to Palestine. The journey was marked by drama and hardship, as the refugees faced numerous setbacks, including being forcibly turned back by British warships. The girl, who had been forced to pretend to be deaf-mute, travelled extensively across Europe before finally reaching Israel in May 1948. Esther Shakine's graphic novel brings this remarkable story to life with expressive drawings and sensitive dialogue. Through the story of a child who experienced trauma, persecution, and homelessness, Exodus also explores themes of civil courage, hope, and humanity.
