I Escaped a Chinese Internment Camp

I Escaped a Chinese Internment Camp is a true story of Zumrat Dawut, a woman from Xinjiang, an autonomous region in China, a wife, and a mother of three children. One day she is taken to a facility for Uyghur women without knowing what she did wrong.

This nonfiction graphic novel is a quick read. The illustrations are very good, and the style is a bit different. Panels contain only graphics. Text is usually outside and not in bubbles. This graphic novel won a Pulitzer Prize in 2022 for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary.
