Graphic Novels, a New Way to Write About Trauma? [The Wave (Die Welle) by Stefanie Kampmann (2007), The Quest (Die Suche) by Eric Heuvel, Ruud van der Rol and Lies Schippers (2010), The Life of Anne Frank (La Vie d’Anne Frank) by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon (2010), Irmina by Barbara Yelin (2016)] This paper is aimed at demonstrating that graphic novels are used as a mean to convey memories. Fictionalisation is easing the catharsis and the memory process. This article examines the status of testimonies from four graphic novels and the way by which the questions of liberty, individual liability, adaptation and forced submission to historical events are dealt with. Graphic novels participate to the in a privileged manner to the construction of the memories and the historical imagination.

Key words: graphic novel, Shoah, trauma, memory, transmission, testimony
