This carefully crafted and artistically striking graphic novel moves between two timelines, with an omniscient blackbird providing narration. The first, in 2011 Amsterdam, follows Annick and her grandma, Oma (both white). Oma needs a bone marrow transplant, but in searching for a match she finds that her family members are not biologically related to her. This launches Annick’s investigation into Oma’s childhood. Annick uses a set of prints of Amsterdam buildings—given to Oma when she was a child during WWII—to get started. The second timeline takes place during WWII, when Emma (white), a student, is recruited by her teacher to help hide and relocate Jewish children, two of whom are Oma and her brother. The siblings are separated; Oma is taken in by a non-Jewish family, while her brother is sent to live with a priest who is hiding several Jewish boys in his church. Emma becomes involved with a group of print artists who are forging documents for Jews. The crisscrossing timelines come to a convincing conclusion that reaffirms that there are never easy answers in wartime. Mostly black-and-white art, which includes abundant photographs, conveys the dramatic story while also emphasizing the role of art as an act of resistance. Extensive end matter describes the people, events, and buildings featured in the story.
