Czernowitzers, The graphic novel about our list member Mimi Taylor and her childhood friend Herbert Rubinstein is now available in German. The book was presented in Düsseldorf a few days ago. Düsseldorf's mayor gave a welcoming speech and emphasised the importance of the city partnership between Düsseldorf and Czernowitz.
The graphic novel, prepared by the Chernivtsi Museum of the History and Culture of Bukovina Jews, was first published in Ukrainian as part of the international project "Erinnerung lernen" (learning remembrance). The book is based on Mimi Taylor's and Herbert Rubinstein's eyewitness accounts, archival documents as well as old photographs and traces the history of the Holocaust in Czernowitz for young people and for use in schools. The presentation of the book took place during a youth exchange between Czernowitz, Düsseldorf and Warsaw. Young people used creative methods to deal with the topics of past and future. In the face of the russian war of aggression against Ukraine, such encounters are of particular importance.
