Whistleblowers: Four Who Fought to Expose the Holocaust to America
by Dark Horse
120 pages; softcover.
A compelling nonfiction graphic novel, set on the stage of World War II, Whistleblowers is the true story of 4 courageous individuals who risked their careers—or their lives—to confront the unfolding Holocaust. Who were the whistleblowers? Alan Cranston—a young journalist and future U.S. senator who exposed the truth of Hitler’s plans. Josiah E. DuBois Jr.—a member of Franklin Roosevelt’s Treasury Department whose report pressured the President to grant haven to refugees. Jan Karski—an eyewitness to Nazi atrocities who met with American and British officials to disclose the death camps. Arthur Weil—an American civil servant who blew the whistle on colleagues who were blocking the rescue of refugees.
Acclaimed author Rafael Medoff, co-founder of the David Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, and award-winning comics creator Dean Motter bring to life these tales of moral courage in the shadow of genocide.
