For any unfamiliar, Maus is a graphic novel based on interviews with the author’s father’s experience as a Polish Jew and holocaust survivor.

      Got it as a young teenager as well. I pick it up from time to time just to keep the anger against fascism burning

    I worry fascism is on the rise because newer generations genuinely do not have the knowledge of what WW2 actually was. I remember talking to my friend about the Holocaust and he was shocked when I told him 8 million Jews died. Like… Yeah bro, how did he not know that? People mindlessly go through the motions at their job, get home and watch TikTok, and do the same thing. All superficial nonsense to stop people from waking up to the fact they’re being raped by billionaires.
