The book A Survivor's Tale by Art Spiegelman is a very successful account of Vladek's experience during the Holocaust. It tells the story of a Jewish Holocaust survivor and his son, a cartoonist, turning his father's story into a comic strip. The son, Art, finds this event horrific but also interesting, so he thinks others should read it from the mouth of a real survivor. The story moves back and forth from the present day to the time of the war. Art continually visits his father to record parts of his story, but he does not have a well-developed relationship with his father, so these visits become tense. The father, Vladek, begins the story by recounting how he met Art's mother, Anja, who also survived the Holocaust, but later committed suicide in May 1968. The gist of story is the contact between Art and Vladek; Anja's death is a major turning point in their relationship. Maybe that's why they don't have an honest relationship. They have different ideas about Anja. For Vladek, Anja is the perfect wife; she was well-groomed, rich, brilliant, and fluent in many languages ​​like Vladek, whose mastery of the language saves him in many situations.

Tosha commits suicide and poisons Richieu as well as her own children. Because ...... middle of paper ...... extremely careful in their daily lives and do not discuss their past or their families. The Jews had to be completely cut off from the real world. They were having problems in one location, so moving to different homes was essential. The children spent most of their childhood with strangers. When imagining the children, their main concern was probably whether their families would survive the war and that they might not be able to reunite with their parents once the war was over. Because the children were taken by complete strangers, it was likely that they would never see their parents or other relatives again. During the Holocaust, Jews were forced to live in ghettos. The conditions there were horrible and harmful. To distinguish Jews from non-Jews, the Nazis forced Jews to wear the Star of David on their clothing. If they tried to escape, the death penalty was imposed on them...
