Everyone needs to read this and the first book. It's a raw and powerful story of a Jewish man who survived the Holocaust. Check the content warnings and take care of yourself, but it's a very important book.

An interesting quote from pg. 90 that I will be thinking about for months or even years to come:

Art: I'd rather kill myself than live through all that...

Francoise: What? Returning groceries?

Art: No. Everything Vladek went through. It's a miracle he survived.

Francoise: Uh-huh. But in some ways he didn't survive.

Conclusion to a family’s experience during and after the holocaust. Really heavy material for a graphic novel, excellent story sharing.

More focused on Auschwitz itself, rather than the period before. A bit slower than volume I—the Catskills portions didn’t work as well for me. But still beautifully rendered
