Jim from Etterbeek

Jim d'Etterbeek brings together boards drawn between 1989 and 2012 by Chaim Kaliski. This first volume of Kaliski's work constitutes the part autobiographical, the common thread of Kaliski's work, the story of the hidden child in Brussels, told in depth through the evocation of the “years “black” in the streets of Brussels. Etterbeek is one of the 19 municipalities of Brussels, but Kaliski's chronicle, which extends from the twenties to the post-war period, explores the other municipalities of Brussels: Anderlecht, Schaerbeek, Saint-Gilles, Ixelles... Some episodes are more developed, such as the roundup of September 3, 1942, and some figures are recurring, like the “traitor” Jacques Mousso.
