As a result, Spiegelman’s family has been traumatized and has “children of holocaust survivors growing up with the simultaneous presence and absence of the Holocaust memory in their lives” (Kohli, 2012, p. 2). In fact, “Maus is not about…

However, one must delve deeper into “The Book of Yolek” to understand the true intent behind Hecht’s insertion of the epigraph.
