For the first time, Maus I: A Survivor's Tale and Maus II are combined here—the complete story of Vladek Spiegelman and his wife, living and surviving in Hitler's Europe. The author uses cartoons to address the horrors of the Holocaust, capturing the daily reality of fear. He explores guilt, relief, and the extraordinary experience of survival, as well as the impact of their parents' ordeals on the children of survivors. A contemporary classic of inestimable value.
