Arrested with her family in the Netherlands, deported by the Nazis to Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen, and orphaned – all by the age of seven – Emmie Arbel survived the camps, only to face a new ordeal of suffering in what should have been a place of refuge. Traumatized as a child by violence, abuse, and isolation, she has transformed her survival into an inspirational lifelong mission both to bear witness to the Holocaust, and to celebrate the enduring resilience of the human spirit. Working closely with Emmie herself, the acclaimed German graphic artist Barbara Yelin has created an unforgettable “visual biography” of this remarkable woman: her rebellious independence, her indomitable humour, the wisdom of her contemplation.Emmie Arbel: The Colour of Memory is at once a haunting portrayal of a historical atrocity, an inspiring account of a modern friendship, a beautiful work of art, and a meditation on memory itself.This graphic novel was developed as part of the Survivor-Centred Visual Narratives Project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

Bringing together some of the last Holocaust survivor stories in living memory, After the Holocaust shares Jewish scholarship, activism, poetry, and personal narratives which tackle the changing face of human rights education in the 21st century. The collected voices draw on decades of research on Holocaust history to discuss education, broader human rights abuses, genocide, internment, and oppression. Advancing the dialogue between civic advocacy, public remembrance, and research, contributors discuss how the Holocaust is taught and remembered. By including additional perspectives on the context of Canadian antisemitism, the legacy of human rights abuses of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, and the internment of Japanese Canadians in World War II, After the Holocaust examines the ways the Holocaust changed thinking around human rights legislation and memorialization on a global scale. "The first- and second-generation survivor accounts are treasures—invaluable reflections that anchor this collection." — David MacDonald , author of The Sleeping Giant Awakens: Genocide, Indian Residential Schools, and the Challenge of Conciliation

Based on personal interviews between political prisoner Akram Al Saud and graphic artist Tobi Dahmen, Al-Faẓia’: The Horror vividly depicts the life of a man who found the courage to resist in the face of unfathomable terror.Al-Faẓia’: The Horror follows the harrowing journey of Akram Al Saud, a nineteen-year-old architecture student in Aleppo whose life was upended by an unjust arrest in 2010. After nine months in Assad’s prisons, he joined the revolution, endured further arrests, and was finally forced to flee to Europe in 2016. Restoring agency to Al Saud’s experiences as a survivor, this graphic novel portrays his life with authenticity and sensitivity. A rich appendix offers historical context and a behind-the-scenes look at the project’s creation.Created as part of the international Survivor-Centred Visual Narratives (SCVN) project, this book offers an impactful, arts-based way to share the experiences of those who have suffered at the hands of human rights abuses. This unique work resulting from the collaboration between Al Saud and Dahmen serves as an example of how the unspeakable can find expression in art.

Did They Forget About Us

Surviving the Holocaust in Berlin

Did They Forget About Us is a unique story of survival in Nazi Germany, brought to a wider audience through Gilad Seliktar’s evocative visual storytelling. Klaus Zwilsky was born in 1932 in Berlin to Erich and Ruth Zwilsky. In September 1943, Klaus and his parents moved into the Jewish Hospital Berlin, where Erich had been working since the beginning of 1941. It is there, in the heart of the German capital and before the very eyes of the Nazis, that an unparalleled yet little-known story of Jewish survival during the Holocaust unfolded. The Jewish Hospital in Berlin was the only Jewish institution in Nazi Germany, along with the Weissensee Jewish Cemetery, that was permitted to operate throughout the war. The physicians, nurses, staff, and their families feared deportation at a moment’s notice as the hospital also served as a deportation holding camp (Sammellager) for Jews prior to them being sent to ghettos and death camps. Its eight hundred to one thousand Jewish residents, including Klaus and his parents, were liberated by the Soviet Army on 24 April 1945. On 1 July 1945, after not having been able to attend school for three years, Klaus was able to resume his schooling. And on 28 July, he celebrated the first Bar Mitzvah in Berlin after the war.A rare tale of resistance and survival, Did They Forget About Us beautifully illustrates the little-known history of this Jewish cultural landmark and the bravery and resilience of its residents in the face of grave oppression.
