Undesirables by Aomar Boum and Nadjib Berber.

“In this gripping graphic novel, a Jewish journalist encounters an extension of the horrors of the Holocaust in North Africa. Through bold, historically inflected illustrations that convey the tension of the coming war and the grimness of the Vichy camps, Aomar Boum and Nadjib Berber capture the experiences of thousands of refugees through the fictional Hans, chronicling how the traumas of the Holocaust extended far beyond the borders of Europe.” – Stanford University Press 

 

This is a hybrid event. The event is taking place in-person at the Montreal Holocaust Museum.
