This shows that he doesn’t really like to be alone but is still confident that things were always going to work out. He moved on to meet Anja, they had a really strong relationship and Vladek really took good care of her. They had a son, which caused a lot of stress on Anja and she became depressed (33). He then receives a letter from the government about the draft for the Polish Reserves. The fact of being drafted...

Holocaust was a period of unspeakable horror and infernal ramifications which were not only felt across Europe but also in places like Laos. When I began this term paper, it was meant to be a study of the literature pertaining to this period of Nazi regime in Poland during World War II. What it turned out to be was a account of implacable and starkly real evil. A subject that has inspired countless movies...

...his former self from what he does. Vladek's personality is heavily influenced by his sufferings in the holocaust, carrying much of what it took to survive in the holocaust into a peaceful society where such skill were no longer needed. Suffering much more than most people he feels that suffering of others do not compare to his as his, such as the time where he scoffed at Art's friends. During the holocaust food was scarce, to survive one must save everything he has and waste nothing, Vladek did so during the holocaust but also seems to do just as much "Ever since Hitler [he] [doesn't] want to waste a crumb", much to the annoyance of everyone around him. Much of the survival of Vladek and Anja was due to his own actions and skill. He had trust in his own ability which helped him and Anja survive the war. After the war he continued to have faith in his own ability and wants to do most of the maintenance of the house by himself, such as fixing the roof, as well as counting his money and pills. "such things [he could] do [himself]" Vladek has been through a lot during the holocaust, he has lost a lot...

...MAUS Character Summaries Art Spiegelman | Art Spiegelman is the author and narrator of Maus, and also one of the story's main characters. Born in Stockholm after the Holocaust, he is the only surviving child of Vladek and Anja Spiegelman. His brother, Richieu, died as a child during the war, and his mother committed suicide in 1968 when he was twenty years old. He has a history of mental illness and is married to Francoise, a French woman who converted to Judaism upon their engagement. Maus centers around two primary narratives: Vladek's experiences as a Jew in World War II Poland, and Art's relationship with his aging father. This second narrative follows a period of time in Art's life beginning around 1978 and ending sometime shortly before Vladek's death in 1982.When the story opens, Art lives in New York and does not see his father very often, though he lives only a short distance away in Queens. But as Art begins to draw this story about Vladek's Holocaust experiences, he begins to visit his father more and more frequently. Their relationship is strained, as Vladek's gruff demeanour and unwillingness to spend money routinely infuriate his son. Art is filled with complex feelings towards his father ranging from admiration for his survival in Auschwitz, to frustration towards his aggravating tendencies, and guilt for his own neglect of a father who has lived through so many difficult times.Art also has complex emotions towards the Holocaust. Though he did not live through...

Once so resourceful and competent, he is still constantly working on small projects, some of which he is incapable of completing. Vladek's personality is largely dominated by his Holocaust experiences. 7. What do we know of his life before the holocaust? 8.

...and finally the end of the war and his survival. As a Jewish man, Vladek’s survival through the war and the Nazi concentration camps was genuinely a tough and difficult trip. Not only he survived, but Vladek also managed to carry his family away from the face of death. Quite a few factors contributed to his success, some are physical; such as his various skills and abilities that he used to keep himself alive, while the rest are emotional; like his love to his family, his dedication and his resourcefulness. Vladek was a true handyman, he possessed lots of skills before the war which later turned out to be his boat to the shore of life. He started out in the textile business, where it was more management work than hard labor. Later after Anja fell into a state of depression and he was coming back from the sanitarium, he enlisted into the Polish army, where he learned survival and combat skills that would help him in the long run. He was taken as a prisoner soon enough after the war starts, however, he got released. Vladek got into the black market business, dealing in the black market taught him a lot of skills varying from negotiation and communication skills to life lessons such as not trusting everyone, which would both contribute later in the story. Vladek’s handyman skills shined when he was in the Auschwitz camp, where he worked in different jobs to keep a good status among the prisoners and a small friendship with the guards: “Ha! I knew you were an expert tinman, but...

...most prized work with the most prized people in his life. Richieu is often disregarded in the book however he is vital in Spiegelman’s eyes. The book in its entirety is highly important as it is a dedication to a whole race. Anja is thought to be Artie’s only parent as she is the one that raised him and made him who he is. The dedication to Anja acts as a medium through which Artie tries to apologise to his mother for the grief that he caused her and also a way to thank her. In the Prisoner on The Hell Planet, Art reveals the last moments that he shared with his mother and how all he said to her was “Sure Ma!” in a dismissive tone. This seemingly rude gesture towards his mother wasn’t Spiegelman but rather the LSD induced depression and anxiety. Despite this, Spiegelman was berated for the way he had treated her and this added to what he described as an overwhelming guilt where it was him against the world. While driving to Vladek’s, Art reveals that he used to think about which parent he would save if they were being sent to the ovens and how he would always save his mother. This suggests that Artie and his mother had a tight knit relationship .The dedication helps ease Artie’s pain as it enables him to display his love for Anja by immortalizing her name. Vladek could be described as an unloving and selfish father; Art doesn’t want to be...

...Vladek wore appropriate non-Jewish clothing, representing that he lived under Polish culture, while Anja still wore Jewish clothes, symbolizing her more traditional Jewish cultural behaviors. Vladek’s pig mask assists him in obtaining food from a “black market” vendor in Poland (Spiegleman, 138). Even though Vladek dons the pig mask, he still needs to venture out in the dark of the night for the simple action of acquiring food, which shows the disguises fail to work as efficiently in a setting with more light and clarity. Before he attains the food, Vladek runs into another Jew also concealed by a pig mask, and this Jew had been hiding for over a year (Spiegleman, 138). When the fellow Jew in the pig mask comes across Vladek, he seems a little surprised to encounter Vladek, which shows that even though he succeeds at hiding from the malicious...

...during the time of the holocaust could be more easily understood. An illustration demonstrates this concept by having a Jewish family hiding in a bunker inside a garbage hole. Presented as mice, they were hiding in a hole underground that was filled with garbage, showing that they were cowards and dirty creatures. There is also another illustration where they are hiding from the Nazis, who are portrayed as cats, by crawling through a tunnel, like a mouse hole, to escape into another area. This also shows their sneaky and cowardly actions. Another way in which the Jewish people’s perceived personality is brought out by the nature of the rodent is shown when Vladek and his wife Anja are hiding and are in a storage locker with rats. “There are RATS, giant rats! They’re horrible!” exclaimed Anja. (pg.148, panel 5) Anja said that they were horrible and in the Nazis’ perspective the Jews were just as horrible as rodents. Between the Nazis and the Jews there...

...rely on inanimate objects to get him through this time. He confuses people and things as a sense of coinage. In the story Maus, Vladek’s ordeal through the holocaust complicates his connection towards currency, and this consequently alters his relationships with Mala and Artie. Vladek’s relationship towards currency begins as a love story. Vladek is first attracted to Anja because of her wealth. The bottom of page twenty shows them at the park and the dialogue is an invite to dinner at her parents house. After the invite Vladek narrates that “The Zylberberg family was very well off- millionaires! (Spiegelman 20).” This panel shows his eyes in a very pleased manner as if he made the right decision in choosing a woman. It is the panels on the next page where he is assesses his wife to be. He comes in and the family welcomes him like he is royalty and then begins to poke around Anja’s personal belongings. By doing these acts Vladek sees woman in his life as a perception of currency. The old fling he leaves behind, Lucia, however tests his chances with the love for his currency. Page twenty four has Anja confronting Vladek’s motives for his love. The panels show Anja’s anger and devastation when she...
