The Life of a Maus

            The book that I started reading is called Maus by Art Spiegelman. This book talks about the author as he was in part of the war back then in the 1900's. He was Jewish like many others. Nazi's where killing millions of Jews. this took part back then in World War 2. He was one of the few survivors who escaped through out the war. He was one of the lucky ones who the Nazi's didn't capture and kill. He wrote this about this too show what happened to millions of Jews in the war and what happened to him. Many Jews would be proud of Spiegelman for writing a story about what happened to him and all the Jewish people that died.
              In this book he wrote about himself in it. He made himself into a mouse and all his Jewish friends. He made the Nazi's people  pigs which demonstrated what they really were. This book reminded me of n article i read that had to do a lot with this book. They both had the event of the holocaust which was a bad time where all the Jewish people were punished but as well killed. the Nazi' people didn't only kill Jews but as well as homosexuals and others who weren't considered normal people. The two authors have a lot in common because they both could of been in the war where many Jews were killed. both might have written this book to show the terror of the Nazi's.
