As for Adams: from Wikipedea
Dina Babbitt and work related to the Holocaust
Adams and Rafael Medoff promoting They Spoke Out: American Voices
Against the Holocaust at the Big Apple Convention, May 21, 2011
In collaboration with Rafael Medoff, director of the David S. Wyman
Institute for Holocaust Studies, Adams championed an effort to get the
Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, which is operated by the government of
Poland, to return the original artwork of Dina Babbitt. In exchange for
his sparing her mother and herself from the gas chambers, Babbitt worked
as an illustrator for Nazi death camp doctor Josef Mengele, who wanted
detailed paintings to demonstrate his pseudoscientific theories about
Romani racial inferiority.[101] Using text from Medoff, Adams
illustrated a six-page graphic documentary about Babbitt that was inked
by Joe Kubert and contains an introduction by Stan Lee.[102] However,
Adams deemphasized any comparison between the Babbitt case and his
struggle for creator rights, saying that her situation was "tragic" and
"an atrocity."[101]
In 2010, Adams and Medoff teamed with Disney Educational Productions to
produce They Spoke Out: American Voices Against the Holocaust, an online
educational motion comics series that tells stories of Americans who
protested Nazis or helped rescue Jews during the Holocaust. Each
standalone episode, which runs from five to ten minutes, utilizes a
combination of archival film footage and animatics drawn by Adams (who
also narrates), and focus on a different person. The first episode, "La
Guardia's War Against Hitler" was screened in April 2010 at a festival
sponsored by the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, and tells the story of
the forceful stand New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia took against
Nazi Germany. La Guardia's actions stood in contrast to the relative
passivity of President Franklin Roosevelt, who historians such as David
S. Wyman believe did not do as much as he could have to save European
Jewry,[103] a point underlined in the episode "Messenger from Hell".
Other episodes include "Voyage of the Doomed", which focuses on the S.S.
St. Louis, the ship that carried more than 900 German-Jewish refugees
but was turned away by Cuban authorities and later the Roosevelt
administration, and "Rescue Over the Mountains", which depicts Varian
Fry, the young journalist who led an underground rescue network that
smuggled Jewish refugees out of Vichy France.[104][105]
