I read this over Shabbos.

I am in London for Shabbos at Golder’s Green Synagogue (hence the post during Shabbos US time—Mom, don’t panic, I still keep Shabbos!)

I had another book prepared for this Shabbos which anyways I knew would be busy but someone in the shul gave me a copy of this work.

This is such a cool story. It’s a memoir told through graphic novel—like a comic book— about a Jewish British teenager who gets stranded in the US during WWII. He is drafted into the US army and fights in the infantry.

This was compiled by his grandson who also gave me the book.

It’s all based on the incredible life of Bernard Sandler retold brilliantly through comic illustrations with accompaniment from historical documents and newspaper headlines.

Available on Amazon!
