Maus

*Maus* is a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman that tells the story of his father's experiences during the Holocaust, using animals to represent different groups: Jews as mice, Germans as cats. The book combines personal family history with a meditation on memory, trauma, and how history is passed down. Through detailed illustrations and interviews, it explores the horrors of World War II and its enduring impact. *Maus* is both a personal memoir and a powerful commentary on the importance of remembering history to prevent future atrocities.
