The graph­ic nov­el Farm 54 is based on three sto­ries writ­ten by Galit Selik­tar. The sto­ries were first pub­lished in Israeli lit­er­ary mag­a­zines and then adapt­ed into a graph­ic nov­el by Gal­it’s broth­er, illus­tra­tor Gilad Selik­tar. Farm 54 is a real place where both sib­lings were raised, an actu­al farm in Ganei-Yohanan – a small vil­lage locat­ed in Israel’s agri­cul­tur­al periph­ery, which was found­ed by Jew­ish immi­grants from Rus­sia, Yemen and Libya in the ear­ly 1950s. All the sto­ries in Farm 54 are based on true events which took place between the mid-1970s and late 1980s. Farm 54 has been pub­lished so far in five lan­guages, and was nom­i­nat­ed for the 2009 Angoulême book award in France.
