I loved how it showed the father's experience and the generational trauma as a result of it.

The way Spiegelman portrays all the characters is just amazing, it feels so real, so human. So far and different from those black and white stories we’re used to. He portrays trauma and how it affects every little thing in a persons life in a way that felt so personal to me. I had read wonders about these books and now I can corroborate them. I wish I had read this sooner, maybe I would’ve understood some things better.

An exciting format for a Holocaust narrative that grabs you and pulls you in. Narrowing the scope to just one family's journey highlights the drama and invites empathy in a very real way--all the human moments make it more real.
So many coincidences felt integral to the family's survival. We are confronted with odds that feel senseless and random, and realize that there is little meaning in the merit of survival. There is a thin line separating here and oblivion.

I always feel weird about giving memoirs a star rating because it feels like I'm judging their life? So yeah I'm not going to give it a star rating
That said, I have been enjoying the look into how the holocaust was for someone who had lived it. I've never read the Diary of Anne Frank, but I did read Night by Eli Weisel back in 8th grade. Unfortunately due to my age back then, I don't think I appreciated the history as much as I did with Maus.
I think after I read Maus 2, I will read When Paris Went Dark, and re-read Night.
