As a companion event to HBI’s art exhibition, “Who Will Draw Our History? Women’s Graphic Narratives of the Holocaust, 1944-1949,” we will host an online panel discussion with experts on contemporary Jewish women’s graphic novels.

Moderated by “Who Will Draw Our History?” guest curator Rachel Perry, Ph.D., the program will bring the works in the exhibit into dialogue with 21st-century approaches to visual storytelling.
