Maus: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History

A memoir in the form of a comic, Art Spiegelmam tells the story of his Jewish father's experience in Poland during WWII in Maus: My Father Bleeds History. If a picture is worth a thousand words, 157 pages of raw, unfiltered pictures tells more of a story than a textbook ever could.

Maus is one of the first graphic novels that I've read, and also one of the few banned books I've read. I recommend Mause to everyone.
