During the dark days of the Holocaust, a small number of American political cartoonists used their art to cry out against injustice – and to try to inspire the public to demand the rescue of Hitler’s victims. “Cartoonists Against the Holocaust” brings back 150 of these amazing cartoons, together with scores of compelling period photographs that place the cartoons in the context of the Nazi genocide and the world’s response as events unfolded.
The exhibition of the Cartoonist panels will take place at Congregation Emanu-El of Westchester beginning on January 29 and continue until the end of March.
The opening ceremony and lecture presented by Julie Scallero and Steve Goldberg, Co-Directors of Education at the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center, will begin at 7:15 pm on January 29.
