3. Does this form effectively tell a Holocaust story? How does it differ from a conventional Holocaust story?

Maus is a well written and great way to educate people about the Holocaust. Art’s father’s story is told in a very weird and unique way for a Holocaust story to be told. I am used to going to the community hall on Holocaust Remembrance Day and listening to an old man/lady tell her eye-witness story of the pain she went through in the Holocaust. Without a doubt this is one of the most effective ways of telling on the history- from the mind and mouth of an eye witness. But, the way this Holocaust story is told in Maus, the way we learn about Vladek’s story and journey through the Holocaust , is not the same as hearing it from a survivor on remembrance day. There is a feel of traveling back in time and learning this man’s story from Maus and it’s done in an interesting way that’ll attract new readers and keep readers engaged in the story. Telling the story of the Holocaust through a comic book may not be the same as hearing a survivor speak his/her mind, but it sure is an interesting and effective way of getting the story and the emotion behind it across.
