Colour

As this memoir is heavily a time piece, much of the color within the drawings and art can be reflective of the period in which they were created.

When asked about the color in her memoir We Are On Our Own,  Miriam Katin is quoted saying this:

"..I told him that I had always imagined that world and those times in black and white. Perhaps because I was most influenced by the photographs of those years. Most dramatically the few pictures taken of my father during the war.

This comes to show that the mood can be heavily affected in the story especially when consideration is placed of the time that it took place in.
