Something that really struck me by these books is the moments of humor that break through the agonizing pain and tension of the story. Ultimately, Art's father's irritating and endearing behavior can be seen as all of our elderly relatives (complaining about ailments and being stuck in his seemingly pointless routines). If anything it depicts a truth everyone should know, but people prove that it is sadly not a universal truth: these atrocities happened to real people. Real people had their loved ones, their property, and their family mementos stripped away from them simply because others decided that they were inferior, inhuman.
These books should be read together. I truly believe that the medium of the graphic novels offers an insight that more traditional books I have read by other survivors (or in this case the child of a survivor) are unable to offer. This should be mandatory reading.
