Mickey Mouse Comics Drawn by Concentration Camp Victim
Avi sez, “‘Mickey Mouse in Gurs’ is a tragic ‘comic’ book made by Horst Rosenthal in 1942 while incarcerated at the Gurs internment camp in France. Rosenthal uses Mickey Mouse as a kind of subversive Virgil to guide us through the hellish experiences of the concentration camp. Horst Rosenthal was murdered in Auschwitz in 1942.”
