Through the use of minimalism and animals as characters, Art Spiegelman incorporates a unique art style to illustrate his parent’s past during the Holocaust in his graphic novel, Maus. In the beginning of the Book II of Maus, Spiegelman introduces the aftermath of the critical and commercial success of his graphic novel, as well as personal events that occurred after the publication of Book I (Spiegelman, 201). In the opening panels of Auschwitz: Time Flies, the perspective and portrayal of…

insecure, they search for a reason, and finding no easy answer, they look to a scapegoat. Such was the case for the Germans following World War I. In “Defining Enemies, Making Victims,” Omer Bartov argues that in Nazi Germany and the subsequent Holocaust, the world has found the ultimate enemy in Nazis and the ultimate victim in Jews. Germany was broken after World War I on almost every level—financially, physically and psychologically. And, while German Jews had built a strong sense of…

To this day, the Holocaust is an incredibly painful experience to speak of. The horrifying experience of pain and disillusionment left survivors hesitant on telling their stories of experience. One of the Jews who swore not to speak of his imprisonment was Elie Wiesel. He, along with other Jews, agreed not to speak of the horrors that they underwent. In 1955 however, he broke that agreement and decided to speak out. He said that it would be like them suffering all over again, if they were…

The Holocaust and Bosnian Genocides: a comparison Genocide: from the Greek word “Genos” meaning race, and English “-cide” denoting the act of killing. The systematic mass destruction of a race, of a culture, of a religion, of ideas and ideologies, of precious human life; and they have been going on for a long time. Though most people typically don’t ever hear about it until we talk about the Holocaust, it was not the first one, nor the last. Even after one of the most prolific mass killings of…
