Maus is an award-winning, powerful story of the Holocaust told through a graphic novel. It describes the author's own father's imprisonment in a Nazi concentration camp. In both World History and American History 2, my students study the Holocaust and its impact. The graphic novel format of the story makes it more interesting to struggling readers and students in general, and easier to understand for my students who are still learning English. In addition, having several Spanish versions available will help my newcomers in the classroom.
The story and pictures of his father's experience will give them a greater understanding of the Holocaust, and for many of them, will allow them to connect the struggles of survivors with their own lives and their parents' lives. It will deepen their understanding of this particular time in history, and make it more meaningful to them. Spiegelman's words and pictures will also engage them more as readers and learners, helping them to grasp both the content and the horrors of the Nazi camps, and drive home the importance of remembering.
