Contents:Yzeran, a small village in eastern Poland, in 1941. German soldiers seize the homes and property of the Jews and force them to move to the overcrowded accommodation of the Warsaw ghetto. Also, the family of 13-year Yossel this fate befalls. Narrowness, oppression, hunger, disease, death and deportation increasingly determine everyday life. This also Yossel not spared: To father, mother and sister are deported to Auschwitz. In the two years full of inhumanity and cruelty but the artistically gifted boy develops a strong will to survive, as he records his experiences and the horrific images sketched on paper. He also joins a resistance group, the 19 April 1943 the rebellion against the oppressors initiates.
"Yossel 19 April 1943 "is not only the history of resistance to human degradation, but also a triumph - even if Yossel will not experience the liberation from the Nazis. occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, 19 April 1943, Joe Kubert created the story of 15-year-old Yossel. His work bears autobiographical, because Kubert comes as Yossel from Yzeran, eastern Poland, and was already starting very early to draw his surroundings and cartoon characters. In 1926 Kubert emigrate with his family to the United States. So he called Yossel as "a fictional story based on a real nightmare," as "a result of my 'How about gewesen'-thought." Kubert puts himself in the emotional world of the boy and illustrated with sketches Yossels whose life, survival and ultimately death in the Warsaw ghetto. The choice of the coarse pencil stroke Kubert gives his story a great authenticity.
