Maus II: A Survivor's Tale - And Here My Troubles Began by Art Spiegelman | Graphic Novel About Holocaust Survival | Perfect for History Buffs & Book Clubs

Art Spiegelman's second volume, in the Maus series subtitled And Here My Troubles Began, moves us from the barracks of Auschwitz to the bungalows of the Catskills. Genuinely tragic and comic by turns, it attains a complexity of theme and a precision of thought new to comics and rare in any medium.

Maus ties together two powerful stories: Vladek's harrowing take of survival against all odds, delineating the paradox of family life in the death camps, and the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. At every level this is the ultimate survivor's tale—and that too of the children who somehow survive even the survivors.
