Maus

Maus

PAPER REQUIREMENTS: MAUS
Choose ONE of the topics below:
1. To what extent is Vladek’s story typical of what Jews experienced during the Holocaust? In what ways is it not typical?
2. Why did Vladek survive Nazi occupation and the camps, while so many others did not? What do you think it took to survive as a Polish Jew in German-occupied Poland and in camps such as Auschwitz?
3. At various times throughout Book II, Art openly doubts whether drawing a comic book is an effective way to try to commemorate his parents’ efforts to survive the Holocaust. Do you think it is an effective way of doing so? Why or why not?
4. Throughout Maus, Art depicts a range of peoples that Vladek encountered during the Holocaust, ranging from Nazi authorities, to collaborators, to resisters, to bystanders. Discuss this range of participation in, and reaction to, Nazi occupation. Is there a clear line that distinguishes Nazi perpetrators from blameless victims of the regime?
