This book is heartbreaking and it is also essential.  Sadly, Holocaust misinformation and denial is at an all time high, so is antisemitism.  Reading books by survivors and the children of them is crucial in understanding the true horrors that were inflicted upon the Jewish and other communities.  Approximately 6 million Jewish people and 5 million prisoners of war were murdered by the Nazis.  According to the World Population Review, there were 14.7 million Jewish people reported globally in 2021.  While that number is subjective, it does adequately display that the Holocaust eliminated almost half of the population of surviving Jews, or slightly under 1/3 of the Jewish population at the time.  

<i>Maus: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History (Maus, #1)</i> goes between the complicated relationship that Art Spiegelman had with his father as he interviews his father for his book and then goes back in time to depict his father's story of anguish and survival.  If you haven't read this yet, add it to your TBR!

Not really sure what the mice add to the story vs drawing them as humans. But good story otherwise. Definitely need part 2 because this is only half the story.
