"An amazing story of child survival. It makes one marvel at the strength and resilience of the human spirit."
-Nancy L. Segal, PhD., author of "Born Together-Read Apart: The Landmark Minnesota Twin Study."
Combining prose with powerful imagery, Running from Giants follows a young boy's struggle to survive in Nazi occupied Europe, from the forests where he and his brothers once happily played, to the horrors of the ghetto. While the narrative propels us through Srulik's gripping true story, the black-and-white art reveals his journey through the imagination of a child caught in a land of giants.
The story opens with Srulik Ackerman enjoying a peaceful childhood in the Polish town of Nowosiolki, until the Nazi whirlwind blows in leaving ten-year-old Srulik suddenly and brutally alone. An eyewitness to the horrors of the Holocaust, Srulik narrowly escapes death several times, only to make a final desperate bid for freedom during a fiery revolt in the ghetto.
Margareta Ackerman was astonished when she learned that her grandfather, Srulik, was a Holocaust survivor. How had he overcome the past with his cheerful attitude and timeless smileintact? In Running from Giants, she retells his amazing story, with its profound message about the incredible strength of the human spirit."
