{"product_id":"exodus-a-graphic-novel-9783777435534","title":"Exodus: A Graphic Novel","description":"\u003ci\u003eExodus\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful graphic novel telling the story of Ticka, a Jewish girl born in Hungary in the 1930s. On her fifth birthday Ticka was given a cat, which she named Pitsy. When the Nazis came and abducted her parents, Ticka and Pitsy hid in the wardrobe; the only reason Ticka wasn't discovered and taken away was that Pitsy leaped from the cupboard herself, distracting the Nazis and saving Ticka's life. Alone in war-ravaged Hungary without her parents, Ticka pretended to be a deaf-mute child and traveled across Europe by train, finally reaching the refugee ship \u003ci\u003eExodus\u003c\/i\u003e in France, which took her and more than 4,000 other Holocaust survivors to Palestine. But even that wasn't the end of Ticka's story: \u003ci\u003eExodus\u003c\/i\u003e was forcibly prevented by British warships from traveling to Palestine, and the refugees were taken back and interned in Germany. It was months before the refugees could re-board and try again. Ticka did not reach Israel until May of 1948. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through expressive drawings, sensitive dialogue, and diary-like texts, Esther Shakine tells her own personal story through the tale of little Ticka. Presenting the trauma of war, persecution, and homelessness from a child's point of view, \u003ci\u003eExodus\u003c\/i\u003e also offers an inspiring account of civil courage, hope, and humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777435534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Esther Shakine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36675333980316,"sku":"9783777435534","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4806a1f7-6c09-4893-99ae-62ed30b4420b.jpg?v=1603933913","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/exodus-a-graphic-novel-9783777435534","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
