Mark Celinscak and Miriam Libicki present at Jewish American & Holocaust Literature Symposium – Feb 2, 2026

SCVN graphic artist Miriam Libicki and Holocaust Research Cluster Co-Lead Mark Celinscak attended the Jewish America & Holocaust Literature Symposium’s 30th annual conference from February 1 – 3, 2026 at Tulane University in New Orleans.

On February 2, they presented in a panel titled “Two Roses: Utilizing Holocaust Survivor Testimony in Graphic Art Narratives,” moderated by Oren Baruch Stier (Florida International University). The discussion focused on the project’s upcoming publication of the graphic novel Two Roses: A Story of Deception and Determination in Nazi Germany, and was an excellent opportunity to share insights from their collaboration with new audiences. Two Roses is will be released on February 24, and is available for advance purchase by the University of Toronto Press here.

Thank you to the Jewish America & Holocaust Literature Symposium for hosting Mark and Miriam!
