The above link describes how Maus II delivers a history lesson in a way that a history book filled with statistics and names is incapable of doing. Statistics and names do not reveal the hardships that the people in the camps underwent. His visual representation, along with his constant pausing to remind the reader how this story is coming to light, describes the Holocaust in a way that other media has not yet been capable of doing. The link also describes how the Holocaust will have a lasting impression on the generation who lived during that time period and every generation to follow. This book is not just another story of how it must have been, the for sure truth, but instead the trials of a camp survivor relayed to an audience by his son. This exceptionally different method reminds the reader that the Holocaust can never be represented in its fullest form.
