Comic about Leopold Cassirer

Grant for the Iron Man Sports Association for the project of creating the comic about Leopold Cassirer

The Iron Man Sports Association created a comic based on the realities of the town of Gogolin at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when Leopold Cassirer, a Jewish businessman, was active. He was a founder of the lime industry in Gogolin and Upper Silesia. Written for youth, the comic shows the dynamic growth of the industrial settlement, construction of factories and railroads, and creation of a modern city. It tells a story of the coexistence of Germans, Poles, and Jews.
