Their way of writing is different‚ they way they tell their story is different but their passion into the story and the concept of the stories I have found them to have something in common. It is safe to say that the way Spiegelman wrote this story

E1H Maus and Life Is Beautiful Comparison The Holocaust was a persecution and murder of approximately sixmillion Jews by the German Nazi regime. The Nazis came to power in January of 1933.
