In this episode we finish up the last three chapters of Maus I by Art Spiegelman, after a quick conversation about what the Nazi party was before and during WWII. We talk about what happens in the book (in other words, what happened in Vladek's life), how the book has made us feel and how it reminds us of events that are happening around the world to this day.
Here are links to what I read to understand the Nazi party, communism and socialism:
