People walk past a Superman figure by German artist Marcus Wittmers displayed in front of Berlin’s Jewish Museum, to advertise the museum’s current exhibition “Heroes, Freaks and Superrabbis — the Jewish Colour of Comics”. The exhibition, which runs from April 30 to August 8, 2010, looks at 45 of the most successful comic artists, overwhelmingly children of European Jewish families who had emigrated to New York. As comic books entered their golden age in the 1930s and 1940s, the most iconic superheroes were products of those troubled times, even taking on Adolf Hitler and his Nazi henchmen before the Americans did.
