29th Annual Kristallnacht Program: Childhood in Black and White
Miriam Katin, American Graphic Novelist, Artist and Holocaust Survivor
Miriam Katin is a Hungarian-born American graphic novelist and graphic
artist. She has worked in animation since 1981. She has written two
autobiographical graphic novels, We are on Our Own and Letting it
Go.
We Are On Our Own, is a memoir of her childhood, detailing how she
and her mother hid in the Hungarian countryside, disguising themselves as a
peasant woman and her illegitimate child in order to escape the Nazis. The
stunning story, along with Katin's gorgeous pencil work, immediately garnered
acclaim in the comics world and beyond. With Letting It Go, Katin's
storytelling and artistic skills allow her to explore a voice and perspective
like no other found in the medium.
