A survivor drags a former concentration camp guard by the hair while American troops look on at the newly liberated Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp, April 1945.

Why do we never see these photos, only photos of helpless starving people? Why are Jews only depicted as helpless and sniveling? Why is despair the only Jewish emotion that gets shown, not anger or strength or determination or joy?

I want everyone to see this.

My grandfather was one of the American troops who “liberated” Buchenwald. In reality, the survivors found out the allied troops were on their way through a homemade radio. They had guns stored and ready when the time came. many of the guards who hadn’t fled yet were killed by the inmates. My grandpa was always adamant that, in part, “they liberated themselves”

I’m pretty sure that as far as “infuriating helmets you’d hate to see before you get stabbed” go, this one is definitely up there

Up there, yes, but is it really quite all the way at the top?

hi mr gaiman man. I think your stuff is super cool and awesome, but I've never been able to finish any of your books — I have a lot of trouble with reading paragraphs of text (I reread lines multiple times and skip chunks by accident) and it makes it almost impossible to finish reading.

I really really want to finish one of yours though, and I'm wondering if there are any versions out there that have the text broken up into easier parts, or that somehow separate the lines to make them easy to read?

thanks from an adhd haver :)

Hmm. Well, the easiest options for you might be either to go for the audio books, or to go for the comics -- either the original comics, like Sandman, or the adaptations of prose into comics form, which Dark Horse have been doing now for about 20 years, so we have several novels and many short stories in comics form.

Normally they have the text of the books, but broken up and laid out visually. Here's a page from Colleen Doran's adaptation of Snow, Glass, Apples:

I hope this helps...

And it suddenly occurs to me that if you move fast, you can still get $219 of my stuff, all the DARK HORSE Comics, in e-form for about $10 at Humble Bundle:
