Political Cartoons from the Holocaust to Ukraine: Resistance to Tyranny

This webinar will explore the use of political cartoons during the Holocaust and in today’s war in Ukraine. Political cartoons give hard-hitting social commentary on critical events to influence action.

Dr. Rafael Medoff will speak about cartoonists who documented the atrocities of the Holocaust to urge Americans to save Jewish and other innocent lives.

Political cartoonist Andrey Feldshteyn and exhibit curator Dr. Masha Zavialova will speak about the current exhibit at The Museum of Russian Art titled “Say No to War: Political Cartoons by Ukrainian and Russian Artists.” The two speakers will share images of the cartoons and will discuss cartooning in today’s context.
