CAN IT HAPPEN AGAIN? ABOUT THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND THE HOLOCAUST

Written by Jesper Lundqvist and illustrated by Fideli Sundqvist

In this book, Jesper Lundqvist talks about not only the war and the holocaust, but also what led up to it. In the same way as with other violence, there is a normalisation process, and we all need to know about it, even younger children. Only then can we interpret what is happening and understand what it can lead to.
