Maus I: A Survivor's Tale

My Father Bleeds History.

A searing and unforgettable work, Maus is often regarded as the greatest graphic novel ever created. Through stark, haunting imagery—depicting Jews as mice and Nazis as cats—Art Spiegelman recounts his father's harrowing experiences during the Holocaust.

Blending memoir and history, Maus is also a deeply personal story of a strained father-son relationship, unfolding alongside the horrors of genocide. It’s a powerful meditation on memory, survival, and the enduring scars of trauma—an essential read that continues to resonate across generations.
