Nobody Can Understand: A Short Essay on Art Spiegelman’s Maus

No one can survive in the world which forces power, operation, hatred, and desire to eliminate single collective control. The Holocaust was a terrible event driven by Adolf Hitler, which led to the persecution, torture and suffering of millions of Jews throughout Europe. During the Second World War Vladek Spiegelman received cruel torture in the largest concentration camp in the Auschwitz concentration camp. His son, Art Spiegelman, tells two stories in his book Maus. One of his father's experiences during the Holocaust and adversity with his current father.

In Art Spiegelman's graphic novel "Maus", the use of a mask is very important. Maus was a story of his life as Art's father, Vladek Spiegelman, and Polish Jew, and was sent to the notoriously notorious Auschwitz concentration camp. His father survived, and here we won the Pulitzer Prize and many other awards, we make crazy stories. There are many controversies over this work, critics complained that such serious topics could be conveyed to characters drawn as animals through graphic novel media. Maus is a different type of genocidal story, as the mouse is depicted as a Jew, a cat as a German, a pig as an American, a dog as an American, and a french as a frog. Even with the use of animal identity, it is important to use masks in this story. I think the use of masks by people of mice is very important for storytelling.

Art Spiegelman tried to finish the mourning at Maus by first arranging different timelines and then dividing himself with the father into roles being presented in different styles. Maus: The story of survivors: History of bloody bloody fathers from the mid-1930s to the winter of 1944, Maus II: The story of survivors: From here my troubles are "From Mauschwitz to Catskills etc." Art Spiegelman who lives between 1906 and 1982 was born in 1948, and during the period from 1978 to 1991, two books about Maus whose fathers are still alive and which have continued for years after his death I wrote a book of. But in 1945 Artie passed the liberation from Auschwitz and remembered Vladek's story about the story of life in Poland in the 1930s, so the "now" of the story was 1978 - 79 years. First, there are two flashbacks in Rego Park in New York in 1958, and in the inserted manga by 1968 "Prisoners on Hell's Planet".
