ZAP! POW! BAM! These words jump off the page as Captain America and
Superman attack the comic book version of Adolf Hitler, who in reality was
anything but an imaginary evil.

Superheroes have always fought dangerous villains. Their battle against
Hitler in the 1930s and 1940s taught children about World War II and the
Nazis. But it took years before the Holocaust and Jewish victims were
clearly illustrated and identified in popular comics and graphic novels.
Join us to learn how artists like Joe Kubert and Art Spiegelman led the
industry to shed light on one of the darkest chapters in history.

*Guests*
*Dr. Samantha Baskind*, Professor of Art History, Cleveland State University
*Eli Rosenbaum, Director*, Human Rights Enforcement Strategy and Policy, US
Department of Justice


*CommentaryAdam Kubert*, Comic Book Artist and Educator and son of Joe
Kubert
