Graphic narratives and memory of the Shoah: the challenges of transmitting encounter

Monday, April 13, 2026 at 9 p.m.

As part of Yom HaShoah

At a time when the last witnesses are disappearing, comics and graphic novels have an increasing place in the transmission of the memory of the Shoah. How did graphic design become a central relay for memorial transmission? How to reach a younger audience while preserving historical rigor? Around a panel composed of cartoonists and historians, this meeting questions the aesthetic, ethical and pedagogical issues of graphic narrative.

Moderated by Mathias Orjekh, coordinator of the study tours, Shoah Memorial, and Léa Taieb, journalist in Tenoua.
