I found a free copy of the book online as a PDF online after hearing about the ban in the Tennessee school district. Absolutely a must read for anyone and everyone. The art style is simple yet so impactful and human. The artist has an incredible skill in capturing emotion, mood, and detailing the full complexities of the Holocaust and how it still causes ripple effects long after the end of WWII. This book mainly focuses on the life of the author’s father prior to WWII, his life in the ghettos with his wife, and their intense struggle to evade capture by the Nazis. The book also dips back and forth between past and present. One story being told takes place during the Holocaust, while the other is the experiences of the author as he interviews his father and the complex relationship they have. If you want to begin to understand the Holocaust and the horrors of the Nazi regime and antisemtisim, let Maus be your introduction.

I taught this book to 10th graders. I think it went moderately well. For teaching purposes it doesn't follow a very traditional story arc, which can make it a little hard to build lessons from
