Six million Jews were murdered in the genocide by the Nazis during WWII. This was known as the Holocaust, and it is considered so horrible that it is unspeakable. But how would one portray this to future generations to prevent it from happening again if it is unspeakable, how does one describe something to people who can't ever imagine it? You can describe it through three techniques; pictures, repetition, and the need of new words. Although pictures can do so much, it can say the unspeakable by showing you. For example in art spiegelman’s graphic novel MAUS portrays the jews as mice and the nazis as cats. It gives you the thoughts of the mice while showing you what's happening to them. It also gives experiences where you can relate to.
