Art Speigelman illustrates the conversations he has with his father about his experiences during WWII in Poland. This graphic novel doesn’t shy away from the horror that Speigelman’s family endured, and is at times a hard read but a very necessary one. Speigelman includes his father’s story along with scenes in present day detailing how these conversations took place, and the result is a captivating tale that I can’t wait to continue.
