Maus 2 continues the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist.
4.5 stars. I “liked” this more than the first. As much as one can like a book about such horrific history.
Deeply upsetting but so important.
Cette deuxième partie poursuit magistralement cette œuvre incroyablement riche. Je comprends désormais pourquoi les critiques sont si élogieuses sur cette bande dessinée. Le récit historique est évidemment à la fois horrible et captivant, et j’ai aussi beaucoup aimé comment l’auteur raconte dans sa bande dessinée le processus de création de l’œuvre elle-même. Une très belle réussite, mémorable.
As other reviewers have stated, this book will break your heart. It is an example and how the Holocaust is still affecting generations of Jews. Sharing the author's journey through the process of learning about his parents and how the terrible events they suffered shaped their life and his is a humbling experience. I loved this book.
