(some col.) ; $c 22 cm. 520 $a A stunning memoir of a mother and her daughter's survival in WWII and their subsequent lifelong struggle with faith nbsp; In this captivating and elegantly illustrated graphic memoir, Miriam Katin retells the story of her and her mother's escape on foot from the Nazi invasion of Budapest. With her father off fighting for the Hungarian army and the German troops quickly approaching, Katin and her mother are forced to flee to the countryside after faking their deaths. Leaving behind all of their belongings and loved ones, and unable to tell anyone of their whereabouts, they disguise themselves as a Russian servant and illegitimate child, while literally staying a few steps ahead of the German soldiers. We Are on Our Own is a woman's attempt to rebuild her earliest childhood trauma in order to come to an understanding of her lifelong questioning of faith. Katin's faith is shaken as she wonders how God could create and tolerate such a wretched world, a world of fear and hiding, bargaining and theft, betrayal and abuse. The complex and horrific experiences on the run are difficult for a child to understand, and as a child, Katin saw them with the simple longing, sadness, and curiosity she felt when her dog ran away or a stranger made her mother cry. Katin's ensuing lifelong struggle with faith is depicted throughout the book in beautiful full-color sequences. We Are on Our Own is the first full-length graphic novel by Katin, at the age of sixty-three. 650 1 $a Graphic novels. 600 10 $a Katin, Miriam $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Comic books, strips, etc. $v Comic books, strips, etc. 600 16 $a Katin, Miriam $v Bandes dessineÌes. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $v Bandes dessineÌes. $v Bandes dessineÌes. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0665/2006389448-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0665/2006389448-d.html 941 $a 7 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104022307.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706015913.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518011914.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190129010535.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090806113132.0 952 $l OTAX626 $d 20100120073657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36096A2E6BF011DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOXInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
