Das Unvorstellbare zeigen – Comics gegen das Vergessen

In the organizer's words:

Comics about the Holocaust? For many, as unimaginable as the crimes of the Nazi dictatorship itself. Almost 80 years after the end of the Second World War, ten contemporary comic artists from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands have ventured into the ambitious project of three memorial sites. On the initiative of the Dutch Kamp Westerbork, the Neuengamme Memorial near Hamburg and the Kazerne Dossin in Belgium, they captured the memory of persecution, violence and camp life in picture stories with pen and paper. The result is impressive graphic novels that take an individual, creative look at the unimaginable and make it tangible. The exhibition presents the comics together with background information on their creation process, multimedia elements and historical exhibits from the Hitler era.

Joint exhibition by the Bremen Parliament with Erinnern für die Zukunft e. V. and the State Agency for Civic Education.

The book and exhibition concept are a transnational project with the Dutch memorial site Kamp Westerbork, the Neuengamme memorial site near Hamburg, the Kazerne Dossin in Belgium and the NIOD (Instituut voor Oorlogs-, Holocaust- en Genocidestudies) in Amsterdam.
