July 21: Ari Richter — Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz: A Graphic Family Memoir of Trauma & Inheritance with Sarah Wildman — at Conn Ave

Ari Richter — Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz: A Graphic Family Memoir of Trauma & Inheritance with Sarah Wildman — at Conn Ave

https://www.politics-prose.com/ari-richter

Upcoming Event

Sunday, July 21, 2024 - 5:00pm

Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz is an act of self-discovery and the resuscitation of historical memory. At its heart is the intersection of a genocidal political moment in 20th century history and the author's own family history. Told from the perspectives of four generations of the author's family, spanning pre-war Germany to post-Trump America, it is both a celebration of Jewish cultural resilience and a warning of democracy's fragility in the face of the seductive forces of authoritarianism. Part travelogue, part memoir, part historic retelling, author Ari Richter recreates his family's journey leading up to and extending beyond the Holocaust.

Relying on extensive genealogical research and his family's archiving, Richter illustrates the lives of his grandparents while reflecting on the burden of a storyteller to carry on these legacies. It is a rare glimpse into the firsthand stories of both Holocaust survivors and their descendants, told as an intertwined tapestry of faith, grief, and ultimately, survival. Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz is an intimate reflection on coming to grips with the past. Harrowing and humorous in equal measure, this evocatively drawn graphic novel will be discussed for generations to come.

Ari Richter is a visual artist and Professor at the City University of New York. His drawings, sculptures, videos, performances and lectures have been presented in museums, galleries and academic spaces throughout the U.S. Richter is the recipient of fellowships from the Mellon Foundation and the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, as well as a fully public education from grade school to graduate school. The grandson of Holocaust survivors and son of therapists, he lives in New York with his wife and two daughters.

This event is free with first come, first served seating.

Tom Ellis as Godcat and Ally Maki as Greta in Netflix's Exploding Kittens.

Netflix

The best-selling card game Exploding Kittens has been adapted into a new Netflix animated series. It does plenty of its own world-building: God (Tom Ellis) and the devil (Sasheer Zamata) are sent to earth, where they take the form of talking cats — and meddle in the lives of a struggling family.

Comics writer Gerry Duggan's sister Claire Duggan has passed away in DC

I don't know Mr. Duggan personally, but I'm posting this since it has such a strong DC connection. She took photographs for my alma mater GWU, and he says, "She was GW's first official photographer,"

Of course my condolences go out to him and his family.

Elkanah Tisdale's Gerrymandering cartoon in the Library of Congress

The political cartoon that gave birth to the term "Gerrymandering." Artist: Elkanah Tisdale. Rare Book and Special Collections Division.

Gerrymandering: The Origin Story

Timeless blog July 18, 2024

—This is a guest post by Mark Dimunation, the former chief of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division.

https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2024/07/gerrymandering-the-origin-story/

Note this:

The Library's Rare Book and Special Collections Division holds the original print of the image, and the Geography and Map Division holds Tisdale's original woodblocks — preserving the origins of a political practice that continues over two centuries later.
