The graphic novel A Lifelong Survival was created at the instigation of the Education Department at the Dachau Memorial Site and completed in collaboration with the design agencies Goldener Westen and Navos (Berlin). It is available on the Memorial Site’s website as an animated short film (in German and English) and a more detailed ePaper / flipbook version. Both versions are contemporary and touching ways to approach the history of the Dachau concentration camp. They are aimed primarily – but not only – at youths (13 upwards) and can be used by teachers and in extracurricular education for the preparation and follow-up lessons to a visit of the Dachau Memorial Site. Fostering a holistic approach, cognitive and emotional learning are brought together in studying and discussing A Lifelong Survival.
