Study Centre for Persecuted Arts, Gerberstraße 30, 42653 Solingen

Kichka. Life Is a Cartoon is a film about the relationship between a son and his father; one a cartoonist, the other a victim and witness of the Holocaust. It shows how such trauma shapes the psychology of every family member. Despite – or perhaps because of – the harrowing subject matter, the film is full of lightness, affection and hope.

The Centre for Persecuted Arts, the Max-Leven-Zentrum Solingen e.V. association and the Evangelical Church District of Solingen invite you to a film evening at the museum's newly opened study centre at Gerberstraße 30 to mark the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of National Socialism. Dr Jürgen Kaumkötter, who contributed to the production of the documentary in 2018, will be available for a discussion following the screening. The exhibition on Michel Kichka can also be viewed on site.
