How come for social animals, we can only recognise social evils when it hits us but never when it hurts others?

I originally learnt about this book because of the possible banning it was going through. I'm not a huge fan of comics and graphic novels, but this one is a masterpiece, and I think everyone should read it if they have the opportunity. It's a great way to learn about the Holocaust from a survivor's perspective.

It's a fast read, it felt like I was breezing through it. I also loved the meta aspect of it, with the author showing his struggles while writing this book, and leaving in the crankiness of his father, even if it makes him, at times, unlikable.

Maus is a beautiful graphic biography of Art Speigelman's father's experience during the holocaust as a survivor. This book is just stunning and every single person on this Earth has to read this book. I personally believe it should be made essential reading due to how important these topics are. The book is also not trying to glorify his father, even though he was a survivor, he is still flawed. Most history textbooks will only share an experience by the mass, but this is a personal experience that has such significant impact.
