Is there a connection between Spirou, the Belgian comic strip hero, and Felix Nussbaum, the German painter of the New Objectivity who was murdered at Auschwitz? Émile Bravo, in his graphic novel Spirou. L'Espoir malgré tout, published by Éditions Dupuis, makes this fictional character rub shoulders with a real-life figure, a victim of the Shoah. The fictional meeting between Spirou, Felix Nussbaum and his wife, Felka Platek, deported in 1944 to Auschwitz, leads the comic book character into the turmoil of the Holocaust.
Theme of the CNRD
This exhibition deals with the discovery of the camps by the Allied armies (American, British, French and Soviet), the repatriation of deportees and the attempts at reconstruction, as well as the growing awareness of the reality of the Nazi concentration camp universe and the need to bring the perpetrators of these crimes to justice. The exhibition also highlights the testimonies of survivors and their life stories. It is illustrated by extracts from personal diaries, documents and archive images, maps and lexicons.
