BERLIN (AFP)--- A strip cartoon telling the story of the Holocaust has been tested on hundreds of German schoolchildren, provoking "lively discussions" in class and a desire to find out more, organisers said on Friday.
"The strip cartoon provoked lots of interest among the pupils and generated a lively desire to find out more about the subject," said Janka Hartwig from the Anne Frank Centre in Berlin, which organised the project.
"Die Suche" ("The search") tells the made-up story of a Dutch Jewish woman, Esther Hecht, who survived the war but whose parents were both murdered at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
