Maus Script: Part 2
A Survivor’s Tale
Setting: In Artie’s room at 7 a.m. in the morning. (Artie is lying in bed) (The phone ringing)
Artie: ...Hello? (Yawning)
Vladek: Artie you awake? Come down here I need help moving a chair it is too heavy to lift on my own.
Artie: Dad it’s 7 in the morning! Can’t this wait till later on today? I need my sleep.
Vladek: (Acting anxious) No! Must be done now. Come we will eat lunch together and I tell you more for your book.
Artie: (Groaning) Fine I’ll be over shortly.
Setting: In Vladek’s kitchen. (Vladek is sitting at table drinking water)
Vladek: What took you so long? I moved the chair myself.
Artie: You couldn’t wait an hour for me? I came as fast as I could. (Vladek ignoring Artie’s comment)
Vladek: Come sit down, I tell you more about Auschwitz.
(Artie pulls up a chair and sits down with pen and paper in hand)
Setting: Auschwitz Concentration Camp

V.O. Vladek: After Anja …show more content…
Come get your dead ones and put them in their grave! I said now!
Gestapo: You heard him, hurry up! (Shoots a round of his gun in the air)
V.O. Vladek: There were hundreds of bodies in every truck. They were all dirty and bloody; stripped naked too. It was a gruesome thing to see. It took the twenty of us the whole day to unload the bodies. They filled up three whole graves and then they made us refill the grave so we couldn’t see the bodies. That whole time I just prayed not see Anja’s body come out from one of those trucks.
Setting: Vladek’s kitchen.
Artie: Did you ever see mom when you were at Auschwitz?
Vladek: No, I never saw her because she was on the other side of camp where all the women would cook the food for the soldiers and the soup for us prisoners.
Artie: Was she treated as poorly as you?
Vladek: No, your mother had befriended one of the supervisors and she would let her rest certain days and save her from being put in the oven and gas
