The American cartoonist Art Speigalman created a cartoon called Maus that pictures World War II from an interesting and enticing perspective. Relating texts such as Night to texts such as Maus is valuable because it enables readers to think about both texts in comparison to each other as well as appreciate the artistry of both texts. I think both of these images directly relate to Night allowing a visual to be placed in my head. Although one is portrayed using animals, I feel that it is equally as powerful in describing the inhumanity endured by the Jewish people.
This image from Maus by Art Speigalman reminded me of an important quote at the beginning of Night that says, "The barbed wire that encircle us like a wall did not fill us with real fear. In fact, we felt this was not a bad thing; we were entirely among ourselves. [...] the ghetto was ruled by neither German nor Jew; it was ruled by delusion." (p. 12)
"Eight words spoken quietly, indifferently, without emotion. Eight simple, short words. Yet that was the moment when I left my mother There was no time to think, and I already felt my father's hand press against mine: we were alone. [...] I didn't know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever" (p. 29)
