#MayMontage Day 29: For #MemorialDay, I am sharing photographs I have taken of the Neue Wache (English: New Guardhouse) in Berlin back in 2017 which serves as the “Central #Memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany for the Victims of War and Dictatorship”. More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-eG5

In the 1940s a third of Baghdad‘s population was Jewish. In 2016, there was a population of 5.

This is an unusual graphic novel, closely based on the British-Iraqi-Jewish author‘s family history. Alongside the wordless graphics, there are short quotes on each page from family members (and some from internet friends) describing life before, during and after the Nazi influence of the 1930s/40s.

An affecting view of a completely different #Iraq,

Given the opening paragraph, I think this book qualifies for the #memorial prompt for #fourfoursin21.

Unfortunately the book wasn't terrific, but it was fine. I kept wanting Becca and Caleb's story instead, though!

My dad made the journey to the wall, alone, not telling anyone, decades ago, leaving his medals there. We didn‘t know for years. He has gone back since a few times. I hope I can go with him someday.

This book broke me heart.

Eggs Yes 📚👏🏻😭 4y
