One Day: A True Story of Survival in the Holocaust

This illustrated true story follows a Hungarian-French Jewish boy and his father after Nazis imprison them. They attempt to escape, fail once, and later succeed while fleeing a convoy bound from Nazi-occupied Paris to Auschwitz. Drawing on Eugène Handschuh’s real-life account, the book chronicles the father and son’s determination to survive through their imprisonment. An author’s note supplies historical context for their story.
