Maus is an incredible piece of art. Highly recommended.
And here it is, a new entry in my reading list! There are a lot of haunting books about the holocaust. Two that stand out for me are "If this is a man", by Levi (an Italian jew that survived the camps and was haunted by them for the rest of his life) and "Commandant of Auschwitz", by Hoess (autobiography of the commandant of Auschwitz, trying to justify his actions after being condemned to death after the war).
I need to add those two to my list. And yeah, Maus is a graphic novel so it's very very haunting. It's extremely disturbing and hurt to read, but it was deeply important and still is. It's a piece of high art.
