It was recommended as a graphic novel written by a former student that detailed their experience at The Elan School, highlighting the brutality of the program and providing context to its evolution over time.
Research for this episode was actually sparked by a graphic novel I found online called Joe vs. Alon School.
It was written by a former student who goes by Joe Nobody.
I really recommend his story to everyone.
It's a fascinating graphic novel, and it gives a lot of context on how the school had evolved by that point.
Joe's story, which I really recommend reading in Joe versus Alon school, makes it clear that this could teach children very specific kinds of strength and coping strategies.
