Het onvoorstelbare verbeeld ENG Picturing the unimaginable

TEN COMIC AUTHORS, TEN STORIES ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST AND OTHER NAZI CRIMES Some events must never be forgotten. But it is not enough to merely know that those events happened at some point in time. To be able to somewhat imagine what it was like for those who lived through it, it is necessary to learn more details. The comic book is a medium that is perfectly suited to narrate and illustrate what happened. The reader’s imagination is not switched off , but rather supported. The stories in this captivating book demonstrate many different ways to let the reader see everything that went on and spark empathy to make them feel closer to what was happening. B.Carrot, Wide Vercnocke, Erik de Graaf, Guido van Driel, Melanie Kranenburg, Milan Hulsing, Sterric, Jennifer Daniel, Jeroen Janssen and Arezoo Moradi, and Tobi Dahmen delved into the shocking stories of individuals involved that were so diff erent from one another, and brought them to life again in illustrations. Each comic is accompanied by a brief explanation written by staff members of one of the Holocaust memorial sites in Westerbork, Neuengamme, and Kazerne Dossin. Prof. Dr. Kees Ribbens explains the role that comic books have played in processing what everyone thought was impossible. Picturing the unimaginable.
