Official synopsis Publisher
Yesterday, everything was normal. Today, they’ve taken your parents. Even your school isn’t safe. Who can you trust? By the time you find out, it’ll be too late… EMIL AND KARL was first published in February 1940, at the very beginning of the Second World War and before Auschwitz was established. Yankev Glatshteyn had seen life under the Nazis, and his book chillingly anticipates the Holocaust that was about to unfold.
