“The complete Maus: a survivor's tale” by Art Spiegelman

“Maus: A Survivor's Tale is a biography by Art Spiegelman, told using the comics form. Parts of the story were originally published in the magazine RAW between 1980 to 1991. The complete story was published in two volumes: the first in 1986 (“My Father Bleeds History”) and the second in 1991 (“And Here My Troubles Began” ).[1] The graphic novel as a whole took thirteen years to complete. It recounts the struggle of Spiegelman's father to survive the Holocaust as a Polish Jew and draws largely on his recollections of his experiences from him. All people are presented as anthropomorphic animals. (For example, all Jews are depicted as mice; hence the title Maus, which is German for “mouse”.)”
