Mauthausen

In 2019, the German Federal Agency for Civic Education (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung) released a single-issue comic titled Mauthausen, a stark, educational graphic narrative focused on the history of the Mauthausen concentration camp. This standalone publication is part of the agency's broader effort to use sequential art as a tool for historical and political education. The comic is significant for its direct, non-fictional approach to a harrowing chapter of World War II, serving as an accessible resource for readers confronting the realities of the Nazi camp system. It stands as a sobering example of how the comic medium can be employed for civic learning and memorialization.
