Trying to find empathy for any perpetrator whether it is during the Holocaust or not has kept most historians away from taking on such a subject.

Although it is critical that Browning was trying to fairly outline the difference between forgiving and empathizing while writing his

  • Stereotypes In Art Spiegelman's Maus

    In Maus by Art Spiegelman, Spiegelman conveys his father’s story of surviving the Holocaust through a graphic novel.

The author’s narrative choices in this novel help realistically tell this story and the use of a non realistic medium to represent a nonfiction story helps convey the accuracy of the novel itself. While refusing a purely realistic medium to represent his father’s story, Spiegelman effectively utilizes his use of portraying humans as animals to convey the truth of his father’s story.
