Summary:

The award-winning Maus is Art Spiegelman’s impressive account of his parents’ experiences in Hitler’s Europe, where the Nazis are cats and the Jews are mice.
Taking place in two timelines, Maus is based on comic artist Art Spiegelman’s father’s story of how he survived the Nazi concentration camps. At the same time, it is the story of Spiegelman’s torturous relationship with his aging father which adds to the shocking memories.

The ever-unfortunately relevant comic novel is being released as a new edition that includes both of its volumes: Maus – A Survivor’s Tale and Maus II – And Here My Troubles Began.
”Maus is a remarkable and unique work because it tells about the war by connecting it to the worldview of a generation that did not experience it. Maus works for future generations.” – Petri Kemppinen, Helsingin Sanomat.
