Liked to understand what it was like to live around that time and the author is able to transmit his father's story nicely.

Book 4 of 2024:
An intensely engaging and stirring visual perspective of WWII-era Poland that redefined what a graphic novel could look like, and the first to win a Pulitzer. Maus is less concerned with exploring the causes behind antisemitism, and instead goes into deeply personal look at the inhumanity and brutality that it inflicts upon Jews, or, how trauma impacts people later in their lives.
My favorite part of the book, however, was that this is clearly a book about Art Spiegelman's father and their struggles to understand each other, especially the son's struggle to understand his father both with and without the context of Nazi Europe. I don't want to say too much about it (since you should experience it for yourself!) and I look forward to reading the second volume.
