The parade : a story in 55 drawings
“First published in 1957, The Parade tells the story of never-ending war throughout the 20th century as Lewen experienced it, beginning with his childhood in Poland in the 1920s. The Parade, obscure even by this genre’s standards, was drawn shortly after the Second World War, but was conceived while Lewen, a Polish Jewish refugee from Germany, was a member of an élite force of native German-speaking G.I.s who were in Buchenwald right after it was liberated.” -- description by Marsha Malinowski.
