Cartoons Opposing the Holocaust  

 
Rob Stolzer, professor of art and design at UW-Stevens Point and member of Mt. Sinai Congregation, aided in the creation of an exhibit, 'Cartoonists Against the Holocaust,' for the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, located on the campus of Gratz College in Melrose Park, Pa. The 16-panel exhibit consists of rare political cartoons from the U.S. in the 30s and 40s to educate high school students in New York City and the American public about the plight of European Jewish refugees and the holocaust.

The exhibit is now being shown at the Museum of Cartoon and Comic Book Art in Manhattan.  Stolzer worked with the institute’s director and  other experts in comic art. His contribution to the project included researching the artists represented in the exhibition, aiding in the arrangement of artists for the panel and creating public relations materials for the exhibit. He continues his involvement with the institute as a member of its Art and Letters Council. 

Stolzer has taught at UWSP since 1989 and currently is chair of Art and Design. He holds degrees from Rutgers University and Temple University. He has given presentations on cartoons and graphic novels in a historical context and has worked as a freelance illustrator.
