Emmie Arbel: The Colour of Memory, published by SelfMadeHero in 2026, is a single-issue graphic memoir that explores the recollections of a Holocaust survivor through the interplay of memory and color. The work is associated with artist Barbara Yelin, whose visual storytelling captures the fragmented, sensory nature of remembering trauma.
