This books hits in a very different way than most Holocaust survivor stories.

This story is told through flashbacks, with there being quit a bit of humor in the present. We obviously know Vladek survives, but the how is what keeps you reading.

This first book ends with Vladek arriving at Auschwitz, so this is without a doubt a series.

It was a slow book in how he got to that point though. But it really hammered home just how many years Vladek and co were hiding and hoping and praying.

This book is poignant but true. And its humor does help to soften the blow.

Everyone needs to read this and the sequel. It's a raw and powerful story of a Jewish man who survived the Holocaust. Check the content warnings and take care of yourself, but it's a very important book.
