Allein unter allen

In this slim, potent German graphic novel from Carlsen Comics, writer-artist Miriam Katin (with Jutta Harms) distills a Holocaust survivor’s fragmented memories into a wordless, black-and-white visual meditation on loss, displacement, and the long shadow of war. First published in 2007, it stands as a starkly intimate work in the European comics tradition, using only the language of line and shadow to convey a child’s perspective on terror and resilience. Its quiet power lies in what it leaves unsaid, inviting readers to inhabit the spaces between panels.
