Racism in Art Spiegelman's Maus

Art Spiegelman 's Maus is a novel about Vladek and his experience as a Polish Jewish during the Holocaust. It explains the reality of the Holocaust, where millions of Jews were systematically killed by the Nazi regime. One of the theme of the story is racial discrimination, which is evident in the use of the character of animals and their mutual relations. Jews are rats, Nazis are cats, Paul is pig, Americans are dogs. Holocaust and racial discrimination are two indivisible factors.

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 between 1978 and 1991, two books about Maus whose fathers are still alive and 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".

Art Spiegelman's graphic novel "Maus" is believed to promote the media of former contemptible manga books to artistic justification and respect for the literary and art world. Maus represents Spiegelman's "Permanent Contribution to Western Manga ... redefine the media suitable for conveying the thematic theme with a problem" (Adams 2008, pp.18-19). In 1992 I studied at high school and university and received the Pulitzer Novel Prize, and the original artwork of Spiegelman was curated at gallery exhibitions all over the world.
