<p><strong><em>Emmie Arbel: The Colour of Memory</em></strong> is a<strong> </strong>visual biography of the inspirational life of Holocaust survivor Emmie Arbel who was arrested, deported, and imprisoned as a child.</p>
<p>Arrested with her family in the Netherlands, deported by the Nazis to Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen, and orphaned – all by the age of seven – Emmie Arbel survived the camps, only to face a new ordeal of suffering in what should have been a place of refuge. Traumatized as a child by violence, abuse, and isolation, she has transformed her survival into an inspirational lifelong mission both to bear witness to the Holocaust, and to celebrate the enduring resilience of the human spirit.</p>
<p>Working closely with Emmie herself, the acclaimed German graphic artist<strong> Barbara Yelin </strong>has created an unforgettable “visual biography” of this remarkable woman: her rebellious independence, her indomitable humour, the wisdom of her contemplation.</p>
<p><em>Emmie Arbel: The Colour of Memory</em> is at once a haunting portrayal of a historical atrocity, an inspiring account of a modern friendship, a beautiful work of art, and a meditation on memory itself.</p>
<p><strong>This graphic novel was developed as part of the Survivor-Centred Visual Narratives Project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).</strong></p>
