The haunting testimony of Holocaust survivor Emmie Arbel: arrested- deported- and imprisoned at the age of five- and of the inspirational life she built in its aftermathArrested with her family in her native Holland- deported- held in a series of Nazi concentration camps- and orphaned—all by the age of seven—Emmie Arbel transformed her childhood survival into a lifelong mission to stand against any such other horrors. With her home now in Israel- to where she and her brother emigrated with their foster parents in the wake of the Holocaust- she still frequently travels abroad to report and record her testimony. Working closely with Arbel herself- the acclaimed German graphic artist Barbara Yelin has created a brilliant portrait—what she calls a “visual biography”—of this remarkable woman: her rebellious spirit- her resilient humor- the seriousness of her contemplation. “Surviving is not over-” she reflects. “Surviving is every day.” Emmie Arbel: The Colour of Memory is at once a haunting portrayal of a historical atrocity; an inspiring account of a modern friendship; a beautiful work of art; and a meditation on memory itself. Because- as Yelin has put it- “The long arms of history wrap right around the present.”
