If you’re a bande-dessinée/comics fan, this exhibition will fascinate you. Visit the Mémorial de la Shoah (Holocaust Memorial) until October 30th to discover an exhibition dealing with how a horrifying historical event has been depicted in the comics medium over the years.
The Jewish Holocaust of the Second World War has often been portrayed in movies, but less so in comics. Yet some powerful and memorable works have been created by artists exploring this theme. Via some 200 items, you can discover the depiction of the Holocaust in American and European comics including Mickey Mouse in the Gurs Internment Camp, Superman, Uncle Paul, Unknown Soldier, Art Spiegelman’s brilliant Maus and the 50s EC Comics classic, Master Race...
A rare exhibition not to be missed.
