WYMAN INSTITUTE AND SMITHSONIAN COLLABORATE ON HISTORY PROJECTS

As part of a new collaborative relationship, Wyman Institute director Rafael Medoff was recently invited to take part in an event at the Smithsonian Institution commemorating the 75th anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s order authorizing the mass internment of Japanese-Americans.

Dr. Medoff also spoke as part of a Smithsonian panel at the annual conference of the American Alliance of Museums, held at the America’s Center convention complex, in St. Louis. The panel was called “TransformiveEd: Exploring Difficult Subjects through Comics”; Dr. Medoff discussed the Wyman Institute’s use of comics, cartoons and animation to teach about the Holocaust.

The panel also included Evan Keeling of the Smithsonian, artists Liz Laribee and Jason Rodriguez, and Jenny Robb, director of the Billy Ireland Comic Library and Museum at Ohio State University, which is the largest comic library in the world.

Wyman Comic Wins Silver Medal

The Wyman Institute's comic book, Karski’s Mission: To Stop the Holocaust, has been awarded a Silver Medal in the 21st annual Independent Publisher Awards.

Karski's Mission, which was authored by Wyman Institute director Rafael Medoff and illustrated by renowned comic book artist Dean Motter, was awarded the Silver Medal in the category of "Graphic Novel/Drawn Book – Drama/Documentary category."

Karski's Mission is based on the true story of Jan Karski (1914-2000), a Polish Catholic and member of the Polish Underground during World War II, who risked his life to bring Allied leaders his eyewitness account of the ongoing slaughter of the Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland.

Karski's Mission, which was co-published by the Wyman Institute and the Jan Karski Educational Foundation, received additional support from Fundacja Edukacyjna Jana Karskiego, the Association of Friends of the Polish History Museum, Sigmund A. Rolat (chairman of the Wyman Institute's board of directors), Carole Bilina, and John McLees. With assistance from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, a Polish-language edition of Karski's Mission is now being used widely in schools in Poland.
