(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. This is the true story of the liberation of Mauthausen concentration camp by U.S. Army soldiers on May 6, 1945. In gratitude, the survivors sewed an American flag from scraps of sheets and jackets. The inspiring, though unfocused, text is effectively illustrated with somber paintings.
