We Are on Our Own

In this intimate, wordless graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly, Miriam Katin recounts her family’s harrowing flight from Nazi-occupied Hungary during the final months of World War II. Through delicate, expressive ink-and-watercolor art, she conveys the fear, resilience, and quiet moments of humanity experienced by a mother and her young daughter. A deeply personal work from a single, self-contained issue, it stands as a poignant testament to survival and memory.
