Title: Maus 1 and 2
Author: Art Spiegelman
ISBN: B001G50SCS
Plot Summary: Art Spiegelman, a professional cartoonist, decides to record his aging father, Vladek's, stories about surviving the Holocaust. He intersperses his father's stories with scenes from the present of how his father is today, and Art's relationship with him. Throughout the book, the characters are anthropomorphized by nationality and ethnicity: Jewish characters are portrayed as mice; Germans as cats; Americans as dogs, and so forth. Although Vladek's stories "end" with his escape and survival, the fallout from the trauma he and his wife suffered reverberates long after they leave Auschwitz.
