100 Takes on a Holocaust

Over 100 caricatures drawn from and by 126 international illustrators and cartoonists have been collated under the title '100 Dessins pour Gaza', published by Massot Éditions in December 2025. The project was mounted to honour in particular the price too often paid by journalists in Gaza working to keep the world informed of reliable news from an enclave under unrelenting assault.

Where globally the verbal press has remained either superficially disingenuous or remotely disengaged through a cowed reluctance to engage fully with the terrible exterminatory facts, the figurative satirists featured here manage to populate the abdicated lexical landscape.

Amongst the project's participants, co-ordinated by French dessinateur de presse Sié, are to be found contributors to publications such as Le Canard Enchainé, El Diario, The Independant, The Guardian, Irish Times, Charlie Hebdo, Le Monde, L'Humanité, La Libre Belgique, El Jueves ... Opening the collection, is a 20-frame bande-dessinée collaboration created by Joe Sacco and Art Spiegelmann.

Plus jamais ça

Such an initiative cannot avoid addressing how to understand the reality of what is now - intensively - and has been - incrementally over decades - taking place in Gaza. And the challenge is not parried. The humour ranges through the harrowingly dark, the candidly sardonic, the painfully tender, the brutally slapstick, the crushingly poignant, the polemically emblematic, the disarmingly emotive ... trapped behind a prism of exasperated perspective.

In publishing the volume, the participating artists waived their copyright and the publisher all profits generated, proceeds being donated to the care of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS). It's distributed directly by the Massot collective, cover price 23€.
