Holocaust and Art Speigalmen

Art Spiegelman, an author, born in 1948 in Stockholm, Sweden, shortly after the end of the World War II. His parents, Vladek and Anja, were two of the few that were saved from the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. As an adult, he wanted to hear his father’s story and make it into a book. It took Art many visits with his father to get the complete story. Art turned his book about his father’s life in the Holocaust into a comic book, using mice to represent the Jews and cats to represent the Nazis. This book, “Maus” (mouse in German), took 13 years to create and finish.

Books that represented, not only different thoughts, but added information to complete the puzzle that not many people had heard of before. How America played their part in the war effort, or lack there of. The different forms of propaganda that was used to manipulate and influence the American’s emotions and opinions. And the truths of what really did happen to those who suffered in the Holocaust. Just because something wasn’t documented, does not mean it didn’t happen.

Jews must be in certain places at certain times.
