Title/Author: Maus by Art Spiegelman
Historical Time Period: World War II
Brief summary:
Maus is a graphic novel (the first ever graphic novel to win a Pulitzer prize) that tells the story of Spiegelman's father's experiences before, during, and after his time in the concentration camps in Poland during WWII. It's a haunting story, depicting the characters as animals (Jews as mice, Germans as cats, etc) and showing the guilt and other complex emotions felt by survivors of trauma and torture. It really goes into the senior Spiegelman's life after surviving the Holocaust, and his damaged relationship with his cartoonist son.
