Spiegelman: It's Germany's that has been very good about publishing "Maus" and keeping it available. But in the beginning, the book didn't even find a U.S. Are you at all surprised that this is happening again, so many years after "Maus" was published?ĭER SPIEGEL: In "Maus," you tell the story of your parents, who survived Auschwitz-Birkenau. Comics are a great way to show this.ĭER SPIEGEL: You've been meeting resistance for decades trying to show this. But the story of the present is so interwoven with the story of the past. Spiegelman: One teacher at the McMinn school board meeting said, "I love the Holocaust, but this is not a book I would teach my students." I'm glad he loves the Holocaust. But the impression I got from their language was that they wanted a nicer, softer, fuzzier Holocaust than I'm presenting.ĭER SPIEGEL: Almost two-thirds of Americans under 40 don't know any more what exactly the Holocaust was. Spiegelman: They said they did want to teach the Holocaust. Spiegelman: I'm not sure those were Nazis or genuinely totally malevolent creatures who set up a book burning just to get in on the news cycle.ĭER SPIEGEL: What do you think that school board wanted to achieve here?
