REMEMBER US TO LIFE is a documentary graphic novel and a poignant portrayal of the author’s research into her family history to make out what happened to the relatives who disappeared during the Second World War. In her attempts to depict and bring to life those who no longer exist, Joanna Rubin Dranger takes us on a journey across a century and three continents. She tells her family history, as well as our common European history and its darkest chapters that we must never forget.

REMEMBER US TO LIFE was published in Swedish in the spring of 2022 and has been unanimously praised by readers and critics. Joanna Rubin Dranger has also been nominated for the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize 2023 and won the Adamson statuette awarded by the Swedish Series Academy.

The Arabic translation will be available later in 2023. Joanna Rubin Dranger’s authorship has previously been translated into 7 languages.
