Maus: A Survivor's Tale is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Art Spiegelman, first published between 1980 and 1991. The work tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Polish Jew who survived the Holocaust, and his relationship with his son Art. The narrative unfolds in two timelines: Vladek's past during World War II and Art's present as he tries to understand his father's experience and deal with his own traumas. Jews are represented as mice, Germans as cats, and non-Jewish Poles as pigs, adding a layer of symbolism to the story.
