Cartoonists Who Spoke Out

Hosted By: Sousa Mendes Foundation

At a time when too many people looked away, a handful of American political cartoonists used their pens to raise the alarm about the raging Holocaust. These included some of America’s most famous cartoonists, such as the beloved Dr. Seuss, the Washington Post‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning Herbert Block (“Herblock”), and many others. Holocaust historian Rafael Medoff, author of We Spoke Out: Comic Books and the Holocaust, will discuss this fascinating subject together with George Gustines, who covers comics and graphic novels for The New York Times.

Registration closes Thursday, July 28 at 10 PM ET.
