Erika's Story
Erika’s Story is a moving and haunting true story of courage, sacrifice, and survival during the Holocaust. In 1944, as an infant, Erika was being transported with her Jewish parents on a train headed toward a concentration camp. In a desperate act to save her life, her mother threw her from the train. A courageous woman found the baby and risked her own safety to raise her.
Told from Erika’s perspective, the story reflects on her unknown birth, her parents, her rescue, and the life she was able to build after the war. Roberto Innocenti’s richly detailed, photorealistic illustrations create a powerful visual portrayal of the Holocaust, contrasting somber wartime scenes with moments of hope and renewal.
