"Good-bye Marianne" is a very emotional and motivational book that was written base on a factual event of the "kindertransporte'' happened back in the 1938s. Marianne, a Jewish girl, grew up in a Nazis powered country, Germany. She and her family have experienced massive amount of stereotypes and have heard lots of hurtful comments about their race and culture. She was not allowed to go to school, the parks and she even had to disguise herself before walking on the streets alone. Her mother,mutti, didn't felt safe keeping Marianne in such a dangerous country, so finally mutti decided to send Marianne to England. Sadly, Marianne had to listen to her mother and left Germany to settle in England, a place where she is able to start a "new" life and have faith.I picked up this book because i have read books from most of the other genres. Out of curiosity, I chose to read a book from the war genre.I finished this book because this book really taught me something. I sometimes thought that i am one of the unfortunate children, but after i read this book, i was wrong. There many other children whom are more unfortunate than me.I would recommend this book to Mr.annismov because he is a history teacher, and in this book there are many historical values in it.Personal opinion on this book： Although this book described some of the most horrible and terrifying events that happened, i still really like this book because it taught me history in another way.
At the beginning of this sensitive graphic novel about 1938 Berlin, eleven-year old Marianne Kohn has no idea how much danger she is in. First she is expelled from school for being Jewish and now she and her mother must find a new place to live. Through a twist of fate -- her mother calls it a miracle -- Marianne has an opportunity to escape as part of the Kindertransport, but how can she leave her beloved mother? It can be difficult to find a book about this dark period of history that conveys historical facts without causing unnecessary anxiety in children. Shoemaker's pencil drawings convey the narrative in fine detail and capture both the bravery and sadness of Marianne's situation. Adapted from a children's novel by Irene Watts, this graphic novel shines as an example of the delicate balance between words and pictures. Recommended for ages 8 and up, but may be appropriate for a thoughtful and inquisitive younger child.

A very touching story of a young Jewish girl growing up in Nazi Germany. After being expelled from school, Marianne struggles to deal with being hated by Aryans who used to be her friends, missing her father (no one knows where he is, or if he's even alive) and trying to hide her Jewish heritage. But through it all her mother stands as a sort of shelter from the storm, and even though she doesn't want to, when her mother finds her a spot on a ship taking children to England, Marianne goes because she knows it is a sign of her mother's love.Despite the often covered territory of the plot, Watts does a beautiful job and the graphic novel format allow the pictures to imply emotions that would take far too long to write out. Beautiful!

The first of a 3 book trilogy. Altho seated in fact, this is a fictional trilogy, per the author. Good-bye Marianne tells the story of a Jewish family at the beginning of the atrosities in Hitler's Germany. It is 1938 - before the war - as Jews were being beaten, imprisoned and losing all of their rights and securities as Hitler begins his persecution. Mariannes father is on the run, Marianne has been banned from her school, and her mother fears for their lives. Book 2 is Remember MeBook 3 is Finding Sophie
