Graphic Novel Examines Multiple Genocides, Including Nazi Holocaust and Palestinian Experience
Artist Dana Mashoian Walrath's new book 'The Book of Genocides' honors Jewish Holocaust victims while also addressing the treatment of Palestinians, according to the Guardian.
A new graphic novel by artist Dana Mashoian Walrath examines the history of genocide across multiple contexts, including the Nazi Holocaust and the experiences of Palestinians, according to a report by the Guardian.
The book, titled "The Book of Genocides," is described by the Guardian as an "audacious and personal" work that honors Jewish victims of the Holocaust while also containing a chapter addressing the treatment of Palestinians, whom the narrative portrays as forced to live as second-class citizens and witness the destruction of their homes.
According to the Guardian, Walrath said she expects the book's content addressing Palestinian experiences to result in her being banned from Israel.
The narrative reportedly poses questions about historical trauma and its aftermath, including asking "What does it mean to be starved?" and "To know that perpetrators have themselves experienced genocide and now commit genocide against you?" according to the excerpt shared by the Guardian.
Further details about the book's full content, publication date, and Walrath's background were not included in the available excerpt.
