'Maus' creator speaks on comic's meaning

By David Pichler | January 19, 1996

Art Spiegelman, creator of the comic book "Maus," spoke about the meaning of his book and what its creation meant to him to an overflow crowd in Cook Auditorium last night. Spiegelman's book tells the story of his father Vladek and how he survived World War II. The book portrays the Holocaust through the lens of the comic strip, and the characters are animals, not people. The Jews are drawn as mice; the Nazis, cats. Spiegelman explained his unique choice of medium, saying he was simply turning the Nazi de-humanization of their victims "on its ear." "Many times I've joked that Hitler was my collaborator on this book ... this was his metaphor," he said, adding that the caricatures of Jews before the war in Germany all portrayed them as less than human. He also said it was the natural way for him to tell the story. "This is the language I know -- my vernacular," he said. Spiegelman shied away from accepting the praise critics have heaped upon the book. "I never did it to teach anyone anything except myself," he said. Spiegelman said the book should be read in its historical context.
