Since there is now a concentration camp on US soil, I felt that it was time for me to read Maus by Art Spiegelman.

Frame from Maus by Art Spiegelman.

- You've heard what they say about Auschwitz. Horrible, incredible things.

Frame from Maus by Art Spiegelman. Art has drawn himself sitting at his drawing desk on a mound of corpses.

Page from Maus by Art Spiegelman. Art's father explains that not all prisoners died in the gas chambers. Some were burned alive while cremating the rest of the corpses.
