Exclusive: Whistleblowers: Four Who Fought to Expose the Holocaust to America tells the true story of four heroes who risked it all to expose the horrors of the Holocaust
We have the exclusive reveal of the next title from Dark Horse Books and Yoe Books‘ publishing partnership. Whistleblowers: Four Who Fought to Expose the Holocaust to America is a graphic novel anthology which tells the riveting true stories of four heroes who risked everything to expose the horrors of the Holocaust. Whistleblowersis written by Holocaust scholar Dr. Rafael Medoff, with art and colors by Eisner and Harvey Award Nominee Dean Motter, and features a foreword by Mark Zaid, whistleblower attorney.
Whistleblowers presents the true stories of four courageous individuals who risked their careers—or their lives—to confront the unfolding Holocaust. They were a young journalist—and future U.S. senator—who exposed the truth of Hitler’s plans; a member of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s cabinet who pressured FDR to grant haven to refugees; an eyewitness to Nazi atrocities who met with American and British officials to disclose the death camps; and an American civil servant who blew the whistle on colleagues who were blocking the rescue of refugees. Also included is the retelling of Arthur Weil’s passage on the tragic May 1939 voyage of the St Louis, based on Weil’s never-before-published diary, one of only two existing diaries from among the passengers.
Acclaimed author and Jewish history professor Dr. Rafael Medoff, director of the David S. 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. The foreword is provided by Mark Zaid, prominent Washington DC attorney and co-founder of Whistleblower aid, a nonprofit that provides legal assistance to government and private-sector whistleblowers, including in the complaint that triggered Donald Trump’s first impeachment. Trump called Zaid “a sleazeball.”
Whistleblowers: Four Who Fought to Expose the Holocaust to America will be available in bookstores September 26, 2023 and comic shops September 27, 2023. It is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and at your local comic book shop and bookstore, and will retail for $19.99.
