A visually striking digital graphic novel that brings Holocaust history to younger generations with raw honesty and emotional depth. Through the experience of the writer, playwright, and journalist Mihail Sebastian, it offers a powerful reflection on radicalization, intolerance, and the devastating impact of fascism in Romania during WWII.
