Summary
When I Grow Up presents the autobiographies of six Jewish teenagers from Vilna, Poland, written in 1932 as part of a school essay contest. These young people candidly shared their dreams, fears, and daily lives in vivid detail. Tragically, most perished in the Holocaust just years later. Ken Krimstein, a cartoonist and author, brings their voices back to life through illustrations and narrative, preserving their hopes and humanity. The book serves as both a poignant historical document and a powerful reminder of the individual lives lost during one of history's darkest periods.
