"Get through one day and then on to the next. One day at a time. One day after another." That's how many jews coped with the Holocaust. Eugene and his father lived in Paris, but were taken by the Nazi's to a work camp. They helped organize and work on an escape tunnel, but were discovered, interrogated and set away to yet another camp. One day at a time, so much can change in just one day. 

I loved Phillips expressive illustrations, and as always Rosen tells a beautiful story. Based on interviews Eugene gave to newspapers after the war, I'm pleased to see there are still stories of survival and hope to be told. Most of the characters are Jewish, the soldiers are German.
