Lily Renee, Escape Artist: From Holocaust Survivor to
Comic Book Pioneer by Trina Robbins and illustrated by Anne Timmons and Mo Oh
During the 1930s life in Vienna, Austria was wonderful
for Lily Renee. Days filled with family,
friends, school, museums, the theater…a typical life for a girl from a wealthy
family. But in 1939, everything changed
when Austria joined Germany under the leadership of the Nazi Party. After that, Lily’s life was in danger. She was in danger because she was Jewish and
the Nazi Party did NOT like people of Jewish descent. The only way for Lily to be safe was to leave
Austria, but she would have to leave without her parents. Would Lily be brave enough to save her life
without her parents with her, would the Nazi Party let Lily and hundreds of
other Jewish children leave Austria, and would her love be enough to save her
own parents if she left Austria? Only
time would tell. To learn more about
