Joanna Rubin Dranger’s Remember Us to Life: A Graphic Memoir is a scrupulously compiled record of her Jewish family’s experiences leading up to and during the Holocaust, as well as a powerful memorial to the suffering of its victims and survivors. In a combination of drawings, historical documents, and photos, Dranger tracks her family from village life in Poland and Russia to Sweden and Israel alongside a grim accounting of the advancing Nazi horrors of WWII. In this 8-page excerpt, Dranger recalls her childhood in Sweden and a loving relationship with an aunt, captured via a painting of her and through the story of the life of the persecuted artist who created it. Remember Us to Life: A Graphic Memoir by Joanna Rubin Dranger and translated by Maura Tavares is out now from Ten Speed Graphic.
