Richter Ari - Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz A Graphic Family Memoir Of Trauma & Inheritance - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz is an act of self - discovery and the resuscitation of historical memory. At its heart is the intersection of a genocidal political moment in 20th century history and the author's own family history. Told from the perspectives of four generations of the author's family spanning pre - war Germany to post - Trump America it is both a celebration of Jewish cultural resilience and a warning of democracy's fragility in the face of the seductive forces of authoritarianism. Part travelogue part memoir part historic retelling author Ari Richter recreates his family's journey leading up to and extending beyond the Holocaust. Relying on extensive genealogical research and his family's archiving Richter illustrates the lives of his grandparents while reflecting on the burden of a storyteller to carry on these legacies. It is a rare glimpse into the firsthand stories of both Holocaust survivors and their descendants told as an intertwined tapestry of faith grief and ultimately survival. Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz is an intimate reflection on coming to grips with the past. Harrowing and humorous in equal measure this evocatively drawn graphic novel will be discussed for generations to come.
