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.

Brilliant, just brilliant,” said Jules Feiffer, Cartoonist, novelist, playwright, and screenwriter. “Maus” is just an indescribable work of art. It’s touching, moving, and intensely inspiring. Art Spiegelman not only tells the story of his father’s life, but he draws you in and brings you into the story, as if you could feel the exact same pains and sorrows as those unfortunate souls did in the Holocaust.
