“Picks up where the first volume left off and follows the father’s story through the end of the war until he finds his wife Anja again in Poland. Even more is shown of the relationship between father and son, as well as of the writing process for Art Spiegelman.”

“I really liked this book because I'm already interested in World War II but also Spiegelman's engrossing style and her funny symbolizing technique (such as representing Nazis as cats, Americans as dogs, Jews as mice and Poles as pigs). I recommend this book to every one who wants to learn history in a unique way.”

“A graphic novel in two volumes about the true story of the author’s father’s experiences in the Holocaust. A tale involving “mice as men” but harrowing in it’s simplicity and humanity.”

“This book was definitely in a more fun format to read than most other books. This book proved to me that format alone can make a book more interesting. Also the story was very engaging, and i actually enjoyed reading this one.”

“After i finished reading Maus 1, i wanted a sort of conclusion to this story, it was only half done and knowing that there was a conclusion, to this survivor tale, i couldn't skip over it.

One of the most interesting parts in these two books is Art Spiegelman and his father's relationship. I saw the hostility, or the lack of relationship between the two of them, and from that through out the series, i saw the growth and change of the relationship. After i finished this book, it was satisfying a well as chilling.
I really felt arty's father's sorty come to life, and to even think of such injustices that take place in our world, is chilling. However it was satisfying because through Atry's father's sotry, Arty was able to understand where his father was comming from and have more patience for him. Their father son relationship grew as this sotry progressed, it was very satisfying to see that growth. ”
“This is a continuation of the first graphic novel, Maus. In the first novel, Vladek, the protagonist, is trying to get away from Auschwitz. However, in this novel, he has been sent there to suffer the pain of the Holocaust. He tries desperately to obtain any way to relieve the pain and suffering he goes through while he is there. I really enjoyed the second part of this book simply because it gave me an insight to what life was like during this horrendous time. I really enjoy the fact that Art Spiegelman decided to do this by making the book a graphic novel. It made it an easy read yet also having it being analytical. It questioned the ideals of society and mankind.”
