Maus Notes Part I (second section)
Here are some possible reasons why Spiegelman used animals as symbols rather than drawing humans in Maus:
- Using animals allows for an additional layer of abstraction and distance from the real human tragedy of the Holocaust. Drawing actual humans could have felt too direct or graphic.
- Animals lend themselves well to caricature and exaggeration of features. This stylistic choice fits with the graphic novel format.
- Certain animal stereotypes map reasonably well to national/ethnic stereotypes - mice as Jews, cats as Nazis, pigs as Poles, etc. This helps the reader follow who represents what group.
- It creates an additional storytelling device. By using animals, Spiegelman is able to explore themes

This document provides an overview of the uniqueness of the Holocaust compared to other modern tragedies. It argues that while other events involved large-scale loss of life, they did not target the total destruction of an entire people in the way that the Holocaust did against European Jews. Specifically, it notes that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki aimed to end the war, not destroy the Japanese people. Treatment of Native Americans and African slaves involved exploitation for economic gain rather than a goal of extermination.

Foer Memoir and Novel Delve into Ukrainian Holocaust History
- 1. Foer Memoir and Novel Delve into Ukrainian Holocaust History By: Nikos Hecht
- 2. Foer Memoir and Novel Delve into Ukrainian Holocaust History Nikos Hecht is a longtime presence in the Colorado entrepreneurial community who previously guided Aspen Partners, an impactful global hedge fund. With a grandfather who was a tennis champion and successfully evaded the Nazis, Nikos Hecht has an abiding interest in Holocaust history.
- 3. Foer Memoir and Novel Delve into Ukrainian Holocaust History One of the seminal fictional works on the Holocaust of the early 2000s was Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything Is Illuminated, which focuses on a young American protagonist with the author’s same name. Traveling to Ukraine, Foer carries with him the photo of a woman who, according to family legend, saved their grandfather from the Nazis. The novel comically combines vignettes of contemporary Ukrainian life with an extensively reconstructed family history.
- 4. Foer Memoir and Novel Delve into Ukrainian Holocaust History Interestingly, the 17-year-old work of fiction has led to the recent announcement by HarperCollins of the publication of a post-Holocaust memoir by the author’s mother Esther Safran Foer. Described as a “heartwrenching" work, the memoir recounts the life of Esther and her husband, who were the only ones in their respective families to survive World War II. After arriving in the US in 1949, she subsequently discovered that her father had another wife and daughter who died in the Holocaust.
- 5. Foer Memoir and Novel Delve into Ukrainian Holocaust History Mirroring the plot of her son’s work of fiction, Esther travels to the Ukraine with only a hand-drawn map and old photograph to guide her. There, she learns about her half-sister’s family, who placed their lives at risk while harboring her father during the war.
