Polish comic books cover Nazi camps

A Nazi death camp may not seem a fit topic for comic books but a new series with real-life stories from Auschwitz has come out in Poland -- in Polish and English -- to teach youngsters about the Holocaust.

The drawings, at times as raw as the reality, are offset by the humanity of real, historically documented prisoners -- and jailers -- like the doomed, young lovers in the first adventure, "Love in the Shadow of Death".

The creators Beata Klos and Jacek Lech said they mulled over the idea for years and the format -- 40-page, soft-cover comic books -- was deliberate.
