Maus II
In the Holocaust the Nazis gave no civil rights what so ever to the Jews. They were not treated as people but as animals. After the Holocaust many of the survivors who were dvout believers of God, gave up on the idea of religion because many asked, if there id a God, why would he stand around and let such a misery occur? After this type of tragedy there is a lesson to be learned by the generations after. It is that if something like this event ever resurfaced again, it is the superpowers of the world to intervene and put an end to such a hanis crime. The author of the novel, "Night", Wiesel, won an award for writing this powerful graphic novel. In his speech when excpeting the award he says, "This award is for the people that died in the Holocaust and the concentration camps because I can not describe their experiences because they are no longer with us, they have no voice no more." In Maus II Art has a couple pages where many interviwers and businessmen are pestering and asking him various questions. But one of Art's answers was something along the lines with what Wiesel says. He can not describe the deceaseds experiences at Auschwitz because they are no longer alive to relay their message to him. Art was able to write this graphic novel, or comic book, because his father had survived Auschwitz and could inform Art exact details of what really went on or what the Nazis had done to the Jews. He was able to cut out all the rumors and lies and write about the events that took place. No one or no country should ever allow another event or a genocide like the Holocaust to ever occur again.
