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

Art Speigelman illustrates the conversations he has with his father about his experiences during WWII in Poland. This graphic novel doesn’t shy away from the horror that Speigelman’s family endured, and is at times a hard read but a very necessary one. Speigelman includes his father’s story along with scenes in present day detailing how these conversations took place, and the result is a captivating tale that I can’t wait to continue.
