Survivor-Centred Visual Narratives

‘But I Live’ Webinar at Kean University’s Holocaust Resource Center with Dr. Charlotte Schallié

On Monday, May 4 at 7:00 pm EST, Kean University’s Holocaust Research Center will be hosting a public webinar on But I Live with SCVN co-director Dr. Charlotte Schallié.


But I Live: Three Stories of Child Survivors of the Holocaust is a collection of three graphic narratives edited by Dr. Schallié. Each of the graphic narratives is a collaboration between a graphic artist and one or more Holocaust survivors. Since its publication in 2022 by the University of Toronto Press, But I Live has won a number of prestigious awards and inspired the creation of additional graphic narrative collaborations, with more on the horizon. But I Live is available for purchase at this link.

The webinar is co-sponsored by the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, the Alabama Holocaust Education Center, and the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center. Registration is free and we hope you’ll join us to learn about the creation of this important work!
