Art Spiegelman’s Maus two-volume set, My Father Bleeds History and And Here My Troubles Began, stands as a groundbreaking graphic memoir that redefines Holocaust literature. Presented in stark black-and-white panels, Spiegelman chronicles the survival of his father, Vladek, through Auschwitz while simultaneously illustrating their strained relationship in postwar America. The narrative juxtaposes past and present, using anthropomorphic imagery—Jews as mice, Nazis as cats—to underscore the dehumanization and trauma of genocide. Spiegelman argues that memory, guilt, and inherited pain shape both personal identity and historical understanding, refusing sentimentality in favor of brutal emotional clarity.
