Ways to begin
Three ways to preserve a legacy.
Whether you are preserving your own family's story, sponsoring a hero book, or pairing a milestone with an act of memory — we turn the materials into a finished heirloom Edition.
Preserve a Hero Book
Sponsors fund a memorial Edition for a fallen-soldier, terror-victim, or community-leader family whose loved one's story belongs to more than one household.
Sponsor a Hero Book →
Legacy Twinning
For Bar and Bat Mitzvah families: create one Edition for your family and sponsor a second Edition honouring a fallen soldier or terror victim.

This process scales with your Edition — Family, Guided, Signature, or Heirloom. See Editions & pricing →
We help you gather
Your producer opens a WhatsApp thread for the project and prompts relatives with the right questions — so aunts, cousins, and grandparents send what matters. Voice notes, phone snaps of old photos, short videos. For tech-shy relatives, we record the interview directly by phone or video call. No app to learn, no forms to fill.
We organise it for you
Voice notes transcribed and translated, photographs catalogued, names and dates cross-checked. Your producer shapes the raw memories into a clear story outline — you approve it before any art begins.
We illustrate
Each plate is composed panel by panel, true to your photographs and references. The family reviews and refines every page — likeness, period, tone.
We bind
We finish the volume and hand it to the family — yours to keep, yours to share. Extra copies and digital archives available.
From memory to masterpiece
From your photos and stories, to the finished page.
Every plate begins with something real — a documentary interview, an archival photograph, a voice memo. Below: three plates from the Jamous family volume, paired with the actual source material that informed them.
Source material · Archival photograph
Maghen Abraham synagogue, Beirut · Diarna.org archive
Story beat
A public archive yielded the only color photograph of the synagogue where Shlomo prayed every Shabbat for twenty years.

Chapter 1 · Moment 7 · Maghen Abraham sanctuary, Beirut, 1983

Chapter 3 · Moment 5 · The hallway phone, after the line goes dead
Source material · Documentary interview still
Moshe Jamous, eldest son · Kan 11 documentary feature

Final plate
The Exhale
Chapter 5 · Plate 35 · After the words, a held silence
Published with the consent of the Jamous family. Documentary stills are from a Kan 11 feature; archival photographs are public.
The producer-led process
Story first. Then the artwork serves the story.
A producer guides you from the first interview to the printed book — listening, organising, and reviewing each plate with you, so the people you love stay recognisably yours from first page to last.
Story structure first
We outline the family story, then write the script. The artwork serves the story.
Multi-reference consistency
Reference sheets built from your family photographs hold faces, clothing, and era stable across every plate.
A human editor on every page
A producer reviews each plate before delivery — likeness, period accuracy, emotional tone.
The family approves
You see the script, the characters, and a full proof before anything goes to print.
Your family's story, bound for keeps.
A producer will answer within one business day. Send a few lines via WhatsApp, email us, or book a short call — whatever is easiest.
