Abstract

The attempt to reflect on the horrific past through the medium of comics sets the tone of the narrative put forth by Art Spiegelman. An episode in World history that is otherwise extremely difficult to talk about is portrayed in a manner that enables the readers to delve deeper into the realm of the Holocaust. The complex notions of power politics and dehumanization are reflected in Maus (Spiegelman Vol.1-2) with an aim to discover the long-lost memory of atrocities meted out to the Jewish community.
