Tsiganes : une mémoire française - 1940-1946 #[nn]

The stark, chalk-on-dark-paper cover of this 2016 Steinkis graphic novel immediately conveys its grave subject: figures standing behind barbed wire, rendered in spare, haunting lines by Kkrist Mirror. Tsiganes: Une Mémoire Française — 1940–1946 takes on the largely overlooked internment of Romani people in France during the Occupation, a chapter of history that deserves far more attention than it has received. Mirror's restrained visual style feels entirely suited to bearing witness to this painful period with dignity and honesty.
