[LM_NET] graphic novel- MAUS

[Nancy <butterflymoon20022002@YAHOO.COM>]

Happy New Year,
   I have just finished reading MAUS written by Art Spiegelman.  This isnt the 
first graphic novel i have read but the first based on an historical event. The 
author  writes of his father's  memories of being a Jew in Poland, how his father 
and mother survived from 1939 to after the war in the Unites States. 
  This novel would be good to use to give first hand knowledge of the trials and 
tribulations of the Polish Jews during Nazi occupation. I think even a better 
account then the diary of Anne Frank since the father told his story to his son the 
author and creator of MAUS. 
  I am looking to reading the second book to MAUS.
   
  I am not totally sold on graphic novels but i think there is room for them in 
oour libraries.
