Maus - Die Geschichte eines Überlebenden

Art Spiegelman’s Maus is a landmark graphic novel published in two volumes by Rowohlt from 1989 to 1992, telling the harrowing true story of his father’s experiences as a Polish Jew during the Holocaust. Spiegelman, the primary writer and artist, uses a stark black-and-white style and anthropomorphic animals—Jews as mice, Nazis as cats—to create a deeply personal and historically resonant narrative. With additional writing contributions from Christine Brink and Josef Joffe, the series broke new ground for the comic medium, earning its place as a Pulitzer Prize-winning work that remains essential reading for its unflinching exploration of trauma, memory, and survival.
