This book was incredibly eye-opening to the horrors of the Holocaust however I understand it can be extremely heavy and dark so I would definitely recommend caution!

Maus II is what I love and can handle in experimental books that I don’t appreciate in film.

Him talking to his therapist, showing his dad’s racism. His struggle with what to write and including the real life images and call-outs of what to draw his converted wife as.

This all adds a depth that makes this story even more human, terrible, and powerful.
