Book Recommendation by Bobby Schofield
Maus by Art Spiegelman is a graphic novel that redefined what comics could be. It tells the true story of author Art Spiegelman’s father, a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The narrative weaves between past and present, portraying Jews as mice and Nazis as cats, a stark and haunting visual metaphor. What makes Maus unforgettable is its raw honesty: not only about war, but also about memory, trauma, and the complexities of family. It’s both a Holocaust memoir and a comment on storytelling itself. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Maus is an interesting read for anyone seeking a different (and visual!), personal lens on World War II history.
