Maus is a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman that tells the story of his father's experiences as a Holocaust survivor. The comic art in Maus is unique, as it depicts the characters as anthropomorphic animals, with Jews portrayed as mice and Nazis as cats. This artistic choice adds a layer of symbolism to the narrative and helps to convey the horrors of the Holocaust in a powerful way. Maus is a groundbreaking work that combines history, memoir, and art to create a deeply moving reading experience.
