First published in Yiddish in 1940, Emil and Karl, is the moving story of two nine-year-old boys living in Vienna under the Nazis. Based on the author’s travels around Europe in the 1930’s, it’s an unflinching account of the roots of the Holocaust.

‘I feel as if I’m in Vienna in 1940…watching the impossible unfold…more immediate than mere fiction, more memorable and more frightening.’ Meg Rosoff
