Book 245: Judessey by Shay Charka
I am not even sure where I came across this book. Saw it, a quick look later and off I went. This is a graphic novel, reviewed for adult readers.
Synopsis: Judessey depicts the journey of Leon, a Jewish professor from Poland who finds himself in the midst of World War II, who strives to find his way home while battling the monsters of Europe. An epic tale of a Jewish partisan whose family is taken away by the Nazis, this graphic novella shares a new way of engaging with the Holocaust.
Review: I had no idea what this book was about, and at points in the book the art confused me. While I went in blind, in the end there was some learning going on, and a look at battling the Nazis during WWII that I have not read much about. My rating 3.5⭐️.

רומן גרפי על ליאון, יהודי שמספר כיצד שרד את השואה בסגנון האודיסאה.
אני חושב שזה הספר הראשון של צ׳רקה שהוא רק למבוגרים וזה מאפשר לו אלימות, מוות ושואה. אני לא מכיר טוב את האודיסאה אז זיהיתי רק מעט התייחסויות אבל כנראה שיש יותר.

It was both beautiful, terrible, and sad. I cried at the end.

As somebody who got an early copy of this, I knew it would be something to look forward to when it finally came out in the States.
This is a heartbreaking yet inspired tale of the struggles of the Holocaust. I could feel the pain through the art and hear the sounds from the page. The story was biting, and the narrative was purposefully disorienting. I hope this does well here, as this type of book needs more attention. The in-media res aspects of the story kept me invested, and it helped me understand Charka’s voice through the dialogue and primarily through the illustrations. Coming in with a small amount of knowledge from some of Charka’s other work, I understood how he allows his illustrations to fuel his story in an exciting direction. With the translation, I believe the dialogue only enhances it, no matter the differences.
I was driven to recognize some similarities here. The story borrowed slightly from Grand Illusion, which followed a similar trek to avoid capture. I also felt that it borrowed a bit from Inglorious Basterds, if not to pay homage to the bear Jew in the film.
I thought this was spectacular and was fortunate to have received an early English copy. Thank you.
