A review by ja3m3
Yossel, April 19, 1943 by Joe Kubert

5.0

Joe Kubert is credited with being one of the first creators of graphic novels. In 1926 Kubert and his family left Poland to begin a new life in the United States. In Yossel, April 19, 1943 Kubert has created a “what if” scenario based on the idea that his family had never left Poland and became part of the millions lost to the Holocaust. With vivid detail and haunting imagery Kubert explains the genocide of the Holocaust and the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto. I would highly recommend this graphic novel for high school aged students and adults.
