About the series
Maus: Die Geschichte eines Überlebenden, published by Büchergilde Gutenberg from 1991 to 1995, is a two-issue comic series that presents Art Spiegelman's groundbreaking, Pulitzer Prize-winning Holocaust narrative in a German-language edition. The series adapts Spiegelman's acclaimed work, in which Jews are depicted as mice and Nazis as cats, telling his father Vladek's harrowing survival story through a stark, powerful black-and-white visual style. It matters as a landmark in the medium, demonstrating comics' capacity to tackle profound historical and personal trauma with unflinching honesty.
