We Are on Our Own

In We Are on Our Own, cartoonist Miriam Katin crafts a deeply personal, wordless graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly, drawing on her own experiences as a Holocaust survivor. Through expressive black-and-white art, the story follows a mother and daughter fleeing Nazi-occupied Hungary, capturing both the terror of survival and the quiet resilience of a child. Katin’s spare, haunting visual storytelling makes this a singular, intimate work of historical memory.
