… WW II, there's a German Kickstarter campaign to raise money for a Graphic Novel
"In 2015, the world will remember the end of World War II 70 years ago. There aren't that many grandfathers and grandmothers left to talk about their traumatic experiences from this period. Markus Freise, Alex Kahl and Dr. Christian Hardinghaus have launched a crowd-funding campaign on this occasion. The result of this will be Großväterland – a Graphic Novel that portrays war stories from the last living eyewitnesses. Younger generations who can no longer ask their great grand-parents should be touched and enlightened by the book beyond the scope told in history classes: without sugar-coating or moralizing, but with a sound historical basis and a sense for social responsibility. More than 50% of the needed 18,000 US dollars budget are already collected. Theres is only time until 28th of December to fund the project and make it possible.
Through interviews with German eyewitnesses and extensive research, the team intends to collect the last remaining, still untold stories of traumatizing experiences at the front, in POW camps or back home in bombed-out cities, illustrated as a graphic novel.
"We are convinced that comic is the right medium for reaching a wide readership in an innovative way. The final hardcover book will contain the stories in English and German over more than 100 illustrated pages. The paperbacks are single language editions" said Freise, an experienced comic-artist known for the depth of detail in his drawings…"
