Book presentation "Am I not human too"

Memory needs new forms to stay alive. With the anthology "Bin Mensch nicht auch ich? Remember. Tell. Erleben", a book is published that makes the life stories of Nazi victims from Siegen accessible in the form of graphic novels, i.e. comics, in an artistic and at the same time historically sound manner. Three renowned artists, Marion Goedelt, Lisa Rock and Stephanie Lunkewitz, present their contributions to the new anthology. Even before the official publication release, the reading offers the audience the rare opportunity to experience selected text passages live in the presence of the contributors.
