The complete MAUS (Art Spiegelman)
Maus is the incredible story of Vladek Spiegelman and his family, who as Polish Jews managed to survive the Holocaust. Incredible luck, right decisions and a cool mind helped Vladek and his family trough the horrors of Nazi-occupied Poland and later also Auschwitz. But after the war, the horror is not yet over. With an amazing eye for detail, graphic novelist Art Spiegelman comes to terms with his family’s history by portraying them – and by extension the entire Jewish people - as mice haunted by cats – the Nazis. The effect of this allegory is tremendous.
