By Art Spiegelman

Maus is the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father's story. The cartoon used to tell the story depicts the Nazis as cats and the Jews as mice, and succeeds in drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust.

Vladek's harrowing story of survival is woven into the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. This astonishing retelling of our century's grisliest news is a story of survival, not only of those who lived through the Holocaust but of the children who survive even the survivors.

"The most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust."
--Wall Street Journal
