Maus by Art Spiegelman
Maus is a graphic novel in two parts (you can get Maus I and Maus II separately or together as The Complete Maus). It is mostly about the author’s father’s time in the ghetto in Poland and then in Auschwitz. It is sometimes brutally honest in its portrayal of his father which adds to the big picture of how he was affected by the Holocaust. The pictures are all drawn in black and white which adds to the starkness of the topic. I recommend this book to everyone.

Nearly half of the book is pictures, notes, bibliography, and index. I highly recommend
