Returning to the powerful "Maus"

I have been reading both volumes of "MAUS: A SURVIVOR'S TALE" by ART SPIEGELMAN the past couple days.
I had read this pioneering graphic novel several years ago. Returning to it, I am reminded about the powerful story Spiegelman tells.
Jews as represented as mice in Spiegelman's novel recounting his father's struggles as a Polish Jew during the Holocaust.
"Maus" won a Pulitzer Prize Special Award in 1992 -- deservedly so, I think.
Spiegelman's work resonates long after you set the book down.
