Edge City comic strip - Passover and Holocaust storylines

Today (April 2nd) marks the start of what's become an annual tradition - the Edge City Passover storyline, which this year will run for only 1 week (i.e. until March 8th).

Following that, Terry LaBan and his wife Terry will start a 3-week Holocaust storyline. Although, the subject of the Holocaust is nothing new to the comic strip page, this may be the first time that the Shoah has been the focus over so many consecutive days. The story will draw from Patty's experience working with survivors in the Philadelphia area as part of her job at a local assisted living center.




The closest I think anyone has come thus far is Jordan Gorfinkel, who was commissioned by the Munich Jewish Museum to produce a set of 10 comic strips featuring his Everything's Relative comic strip characters.
