This book has changed my view on "traditional" Holocaust books. I did not enjoy the previous Holocaust works that I have read. It is completely different from that, its not a diary but it is. I highly recommend this book to others.

Art Spiegelman:  the cartoonist behind the world of MAUS. He was born after WWII. He wanted to record what happened to his parents during the war. He lost his mother in 1968, she committed suicide. No one saw this coming.

I am very surprised how Vladek can remember the events of the war better than anything else. It just shows how influential that was on their lives. It must have been a traumatic experience for them all.

While in captivity the Jewish people were marked with numbers used to identify them. This is extremely organized, which can give a sense that they were products of the Nazis.

"professional writers"
one reads and writes an essay on the "From the Heart of Maus" and begins to believe that that makes them a star english student.

When Vladek's neighbors came over to chat it surprised me what they revealed about Vladek. They along with everyone else can barely stand Vladek but everyone still cares.

Vladek disappointed me in this scene. He was very rude and prejudice against the African American who they gave a ride to. It just shows that prejudice exists among those who faced it. Something about this just seems morally wrong.

The most disturbing part of the book to me revolves around the concentration camp. Just everything that happened in the camp is disgusting, it show the low point of human history.

In this scene Vladek is simply walking along and some of the children start yelling and screaming Jew at him. The yell for help and their mothers rush towards them. I'm disgusted by this scene because of the way people just automatically go after someone they don't know with full hatred. People just accepted the Hitler was right.

In this scene Vladek and Anja find a place to stay but as they are traveling to it, one of the neighbors starts yelling out that they are there. Which sends them into a panic. The reason i put this scene, is because i was surprised on how easily people would give up others to save their own lives.

When the whole family was hiding among the polish people, shocked me. The thing that shocked me the most about it was how Mr. Spiegelman illustrated the crossroads his parents came to.

# data[].attributes.body
This scene disturbed me, due to the fact of how cruel the Nazis were to anyone suspected of being a Jew. They beat, hung, and staged the Jews in broad day light.

Anja suddenly is stricken with depression soon after the birth of her first son. This scene in particular intrigued me, because i can't figure out what caused her to become this way.

# data[].attributes.body
She is involved in the black market. Kind and compassionate person. Vladek befriended her and she offered to hide him and Anja at her house.

Old family friend of Vladek. He helps Vladek by lying and claiming him as a cousin of his when Vladek is actually a prisoner of war. He is like a guardian angel.

Clumsy man who is extremely unlucky. Looks so out of order. He and Vladek plotted an escape to Hungary but were sent to Auschwitz. He died at Auschwitz for the guards amusement.

Anja's older sister.She poisoned herself, her daughter, Bibi, Anja's son Richiue, who was placed in her protection, and Lonia. She did this to save them from the gas chamber. Drastic measures, and a difficult choice.

The newest wife of Vladek, who always compares her to Anja. She is more independent and less family oriented than Anja was. She cares but doesn't just accept Vladek as who he is. She will leave when she wants.

# data[].attributes.body
Art's french wife. She is an extremely strong willed woman with an intellectual mind which she shows through out the book by calling out Vladek for some of his comments.

# data[].attributes.body
The man behind the book. He cares about the truth and people knowing the whole truth. He can barely handle his father most days like everyone else but keeps going back because he cares. Compassionate person and very caring.

# data[].attributes.body
He is a self conceded old man who doesn't take other's problems into account. The love of his life killed herself years after they escaped the clutches of the Holocaust. He reminds me of Grumpy from Snow White, due to their similar personalities but in the end they want to help.

Beloved wife of Vladek Spiegelman. She is very delicate and fragile person who cannot handle too much stress. I believed that the war affected her the most. She ended up killing herself years later.
