Flying Couch: A Graphic Memoir

Flying Couch: A Graphic Memoir by Amy Kurzweil, 298 pages.
Kurzweil tells the story of her anxiety-laden childhood, of her relationship with her mother and with her grandmother. As Kurzweil grows, travels to Israel, and to Stanford, she relates more of her grandmother's story. Grandma Lillian Fenster was born Luba Skorka, and was confined to the Warsaw ghetto when the Nazis came. She had blonde hair and could pass for a gentile, and was able to sneak out of the ghetto to find food for her family. She alone of her family survived the Holocaust.
Kurzweil's art is interesting and moves the story along well.
