The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in Holocaust’s Shadow

Interactive Mapping by Vertices has been adopting a more historical tone as of late. The project to map the survival of a Holocaust survior is a new addition to recent line of projects whose aim is to educate  individuals on a past that seems to be fading away into oblivion. 

The historical account by Krystyna Chige The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in Holocaust’s Shadow is at the core of the project. It is a telling narrative by a precocious child clinging onto a thread of hope, despite the most dismal, black conditions. Despite finding an unlikely haven in Lvov sewers, Chige forges friendship and survives to share her riveting, powerful story with the public. In order to spread her story, GIS is mapping her journey to get web-surfers into history in a new way!
