Based on the Centropa film ‘Return to Rivne: A Holocaust Story‘, the artist Julia Antonova has created a graphic novel, available here in both English and Ukrainian, as well as paperback.
The story revolves around two Jewish girls, Shelly and Raya, from the town of Rivne, then Rowno, who survived the horrors of World War II.
They tell of their childhood during the war, about their lives in hiding, and their return to Rivne several decades later, when they visit the descendants of the brave Ukrainian farmers who took them in and sheltered them during the war.
A project by Centropa in partnership with Інша Освіта / Insha Osvita.
