Abstract

The article establishes a link between the memory of the drawing and the historical events of the holocaust. This relationship is exemplified in the figure of the artista Kurt Herdan, his biography, his motives and the concepts in his drawings and comics. In all of them, we encounter traces of a memory that construct san artistic resistance against the ravages of power.
