Maus is an evocative story within a story. The story of the author’s tormented relationship with his father as his father tells the story of his Jewish family in Poland during the Holocaust. A story of persecution, trauma, loss, survival and legacy.

The contrast of illustrations in white and black, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice, and Nazis as menacing cats suggest the barbaric inhuman treatment of the Holocaust.

Maus II: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began by Art Spiegelman 1991.
