Voices of Silence in Holocaust Survivors: a Return to Life?

This paper shows the analysis of three autofiction comic books focussed on different silences of deported during and after the Shoah. The heron are Jewish children who survived hiding in silence thanks to the solidarity of the Righteous among the Nations. The analysis of these three comics, L'enfant cachee (Lizano, Dauvillier & Salsedo), Deuxieme generation (Kichka) and L'agneau qui ne voulait pas etre un mouton (Jean & Zad), shows the voice of three survivors who managed to break their silence of more than sixty years. We will focus on the God silence, the silence of the rescued who prefers to say nothing, which right to say was denied, who has disappeared in ashes... We will emphasize the memorial literature of trials authors Wieviorka, Levinas and Friedemann, among others.
