read this for school and i still have no clue why Maus is a banned book. it's such a unique way to bring up and discuss the events of the Holocaust and was very straightforward with it. if you like WWII literature and enjoy graphic novels, check this one out!

While it wasn't going to be banned where I live, hearing about it being censored or banned finally pushed me to read it.

It is as good as I had heard. While everyone are represented as different kinds of animals (cats for nazis, mice for jews, pigs for polish and dogs for americans), it is everything but childish. The way the story is presented feels like talking with an elder who lived through a lot. The story is very personal, and it shows that the people in this story were very real and were very afraid. While reading about the holocaust can be haunting in an historical sense, this graphic novels really does shows only a fraction of the horrors that was the Reich.

I suggest it to everyone
