This meeting is preceded by the presentation of a section dedicated to Spirou in the exhibition "Shoah and comics": meet at 2 pm at the reception of the Memorial.
Spirou’s next album, to be released in 2018, will have the Shoah as its central theme. This is not the first time that an adventure of the hero in the bellboy costume has taken place under the Occupation. But it is a recent evocation. When do Jews first appear in the world of Spirou? How is the Holocaust depicted?
