This visual lecture explores the deep connection between Jewish history and the creation of the American superhero. From Moses and the Golem of Prague to Superman’s immigrant creators, the presentation traces how comics became modern mythology shaped by themes of exile, assimilation, justice, survival, and responsibility. Blending pop culture, wartime storytelling, and Jewish identity, the lecture examines why superheroes resonate so deeply and why they still matter. Funny, thoughtful, and deeply human, this class reveals how capes and secret identities tell a larger story about belonging, hope, and standing up for others.
