Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz is a graphic novel family memoir. The author details the work entailed to preserving the legacy of his forbears, both literally in the form of notebooks and photos to figuratively in the field of inherited traumas. The text considers the nationalist bias of the camp tours and memorials as well as other contemporary news items concerning antisemitism. Several panels utilized a mixed media approach, which I wish would have been in more of the text. I recommend this as a companion text for ELA and library programs to other Holocaust narratives in use in secondary education.

Thank you NetGalley and Fantagraphics Books for this ARC in exchange for my review.

"Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz" is a heart-rending and highly detailed depiction of why we need to remember and honor our history. There are pages in this book that will be burned into my mind for the rest of my life, and I am all the better an individual for it. This graphic novel telling of Ari Richter's family history going back to the beginning of the Shoah, up to his present life, includes the experiences of his family members who were sent to the different camps, their stories of hiding and escapes, and how those experiences shaped them and their families going forward. In it, Richter makes many raw and painful connections between their pasts and his present, ending the book with a message of hope and good humor to the reader. Thank you for writing this, it's so necessary, especially now.
