DARK HORSE BOOKS AND YOE BOOKS PRESENT: “WHISTLEBLOWERS: FOUR WHO FOUGHT TO EXPOSE THE HOLOCAUST TO AMERICA” | |
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (February 10, 2023)— Dark Horse Books and Yoe Books present the next title from their publishing partnership–Whistleblowers: Four Who Fought to Expose the Holocaust to America. This remarkable graphic novel anthology tells the riveting true stories of four heroes who risked everything to expose the horrors of the Holocaust. Included is the retelling of Arthur Weil’s passage on the tragic May 1937 voyage of the St Louis, based on Weil’s never-before-published diary, one of only two existing diaries from among the passengers. Whistleblowers is written by Holocaust scholar Dr. Rafael Medoff, with art and colors by Eisner and Harvey Award Nominee Dean Motter, and features a foreword by Mark Zaid, whistleblower attorney.
Whistleblowers presents the true stories of four courageous individuals who risked their careers—or their lives—to confront the unfolding Holocaust. They were a young journalist—and future U.S. senator—who exposed the truth of Hitler’s plans; a member of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s cabinet who pressured FDR to grant haven to refugees; an eyewitness to Nazi atrocities who met with American and British officials to disclose the death camps; and an American civil servant who blew the whistle on colleagues who were blocking the rescue of refugees.
Advance Praise for Whistleblowers: Four Who Fought to Expose the Holocaust to America:
"Rafael Medoff and Dean Motter tell an important story for our times: how the righteous can take stands for truth that saves lives in times of horror. Sadly, humankind has not learned to ensure 'never again,' so we must learn from these stories to do what we each can."—Paul Levitz, publisher emeritus at DC Comics
"When the refugee ship St. Louis was turned away from America's shore, my fellow-passengers and I felt as if there was no hope. It seemed the whole world had abandoned us. It’s inspiring to read, today, about the handful of Americans who tried to get the U.S. government to save Jews from the Holocaust. Whistleblowers: Fou
“Throughout history, courageous whistle-blowers have exposed corruption, brought down tyrants, and saved human lives. This powerful graphic novel shines a light on the forgotten heroes who challenged America’s abandonment of the Jews during the Holocaust.”—Prof. Stephen H. Norwood, University of Oklahoma
Blurb from Conservative Judaism:
“Dr. Rafael Medoff has undertaken important and innovative projects to teach about the Holocaust through cartoons and comic strips, to help ensure that the mistakes of the 1930s and 1940s will not be repeated."—Stan Lee
Whistleblowers: Four Who Fought to Expose the Holocaust to America will be available in bookstores September 26, 2023 and comic shops September 27, 2023. It is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and at your local comic book shop and bookstore, and will retail for $19.99. |
