Beskrivning
Oberbrechen: A German Village Confronts Its Nazi Past is a new title in OUP's Graphic History Series that chronicles the events of the Holocaust and its aftermath in a small village in rural Germany. Based on meticulous research and using powerful visual storytelling, the book provides a multilayered narrative that explores the experiences of both Jewish and non-Jewish villagers from the First World War to the present. Its focus on how "ordinary" people experienced this time offers a new and illuminating insight into everyday life and the processes of violence, rupture, and reconciliation that characterized the history of the twentieth century in Germany and beyond. The graphic narrative is accompanied by source documents published in English translation for the first time, an essay on the wider historical context, and an incisive reflection on the writing of this book--and of history more broadly.

Recensioner i media

Stefanie Fischer and Kim Wünschmann are to be congratulated on writing one of the most creative and usable books on the history of the Holocaust since the appearance of Art Spiegelman's Maus. Based upon impressive historical research, this slender but packed volume represents a new way of approaching the history of the Holocaust and the still looming shadow of that terrible event.
