"For many #Jews, the morning of #Oct7 remains seared into memory. In #JoannSfar’s case, it was also the day of his birthday party, which included “as many #Muslims as Jews,” he told me. Amidst tragedy, #Sfar felt a profound gratitude for life, which seemed especially precious. It was a day of fear and uncertainty, followed by many more over the following months. For Sfar, drawing was the only way out.

To Life is Sfar’s #illustrated journal of his experience after Oct. 7, a reflection of his fierce peace advocacy coupled with a profound connection to #Israel. It follows several previous #books by Sfar, who is a #French #Jewish #graphicnovelist best known for The Rabbi’s Cat. His works touch on his #Sephardic heritage, highlighting a history of friendship and brotherhood between #Arabs and Jews.

To Life is the #English #translation of Nous Vivrons, which was #published in June 2024 as the first of a three-part series."

#Iranian-French #cartoonist and #filmmaker #MarjaneSatrapi, author of ‘#Persepolis,’ dies at 56

June 4, 2026

PARIS (AP) — "Acclaimed Iranian-French cartoonist and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi, a prominent advocate for #WomensRights and author of 'Persepolis,' has died at 56, the French presidency said Thursday.

" 'Her passing marks the loss of a leading figure of French culture and an artist devoted to freedom, whose work carried a universal message and earned her immense international acclaim,' the French presidency said in a statement.

"President Emmanuel Macron and his wife 'pay tribute to a remarkable artist who transformed an Iranian childhood into a universal fable,' the statement said.

"News broadcaster BFM TV and other French media reported Satrapi has 'died of sadness' a little over a year after the death of her husband, Swedish film producer and actor Mattias Ripa, according to a statement from people close to the artist." 😭
