My contribution, ‘The Lados Group - Consuls of Europe’ is a 16-page story part of the Living Archive project, a documentary comics laboratory orchestrated by Pilecki Institute Berlin. During six months starting in October 2020, sixteen selected comic book authors living in Berlin worked on topics about the recent history of Europe, totalitarian regimes and its consequences.
The institute facilitated the communication between the artists, the Institute staff, researchers and historians.
