Maus Volume I and II by Art Spiegelman
Maus is the biography of Vladek Spiegelman told in comic form. He recounts his life starting before World War II and into his later years. Art Spiegelman uses anthropomorphism to retell his father's story as a Jew in Poland. The mice are Jews, cats are Germans and Poles are pigs, among other animals. The first volume focuses Vladek and Anja's stories before their arrival to Auschwitz. Volume II focuses on their lives in Auschwitz and their survival after the war is over.
