Maus II : a survivor's tale : and here my troubles began

Author:	Art Spiegelman
Publisher:	New York : Pantheon Books, [1991] ©1991

Summary:	A memoir of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and about his son, a cartoonist who tries to come to terms with his father, his story, and history.

At every level this is the ultimate survivor's tale--and that too of the children who somehow survive even the survivors  Read more...
