A two-page spread from “Maus” showing a family tree before and after WWII. The left page, “At the Start of World War II,” has 83 names. The right, “At the End of World War II,” has primarily blank spaces, with only 13 survivors. The contrast highlights the Holocaust’s devastating toll.
Alt text: A two-page spread from Art Spiegelman’s Maus displaying a family tree. The left page, labeled “At the Start of World War II,” is densely filled with names, representing 83 living relatives. The right page, labeled “At the End of World War II,” has most names missing, leaving many blank spaces, showing only 13 surviving family members. The stark contrast visually represents the devastating loss of family members during the Holocaust. Two small photographs at the bottom of each page show family members before and after the war.
