Maus: a Survivor's Tale (vol. 1&2)

Maus: a Survivor's Tale (vol. 1&2)


By: Art Spiegelman
Reviewed by: Matt, 13
Rating: It was amazing!


Maus is utter brilliance, unlike the run-of-the-mill books about survival of the holocaust. Maus exhibits the horrors of Auschwitz, as well as the danger that rose with the antisemitism that went with Hitler's rise to power, as well as the way life was destroyed for the Jews when they were just trying to survive in occupied Poland. Maus also expresses the trauma that lingers after an ordeal like this. Art Spiegelman shows all of this brilliantly with his father's tale. Also, the art is excellent as well as the writing.
