Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History

Maus I is a profound work that illustrates the cruelty and viciousness of the Holocaust. Spiegelman interweaves the story of his father Vladek’s life in concentration camps with the aftermath, and how Vladek’s own trauma and survivor’s guilt passed down to his son. Through his beautiful artwork Spiegelman shows us how the unspeakable atrocities of the Holocaust led to generational trauma that is still being healed.
