Maus: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman

challenging dark sad medium-paced

4.25

I know I read this, pretty sure it was when I was in college... I do know that I loved it, even given the dark subject matter. It's really well done, and the drawings lighten up the dark theme just enough to make it bearable without taking away any of the horror of what happened.

--------------------

2020 re-read: this wasn't the easiest point in time for a re-read of this book, but it's important that we never forget the horror of what happened. Also, this was a great reminder that all the changes which are so obvious in the history books happened relatively slowly in real life.
