Elie Wiesel was not the only one who spoke about the Holocaust, “there were millions who spoke about it, who lived through the war and who survived to keep telling the story. Another person who is a survivor is Vladek Spiegelman from the story Maus. He also talks about the inhumanity he suffered through. An example of horror he suffer is “And the fat from the burning bodies they scooped and pored again so everyone could burn better” (Spiegelman 39). Vladek Spegelman was also honest with his side of the story. The author of Maus was Art Spiegelman. He tried to make his comic as truthful as possible so he added dialogue. The story Night and Maus have their similarities they both include the Kapos, bunkers and living in ghettos.
During the Holocaust, people were burned alive, hung on ropes, stabbed, shot, starved, poisoned, and beaten.
All these things happened to such innocent people. The very last method to eliminate all of the Jew was the death marches. The reasons for the death marches were, “Prisoners not fall into enemies hands to tell their stories” and “guarantee the survival of the Nazi regime” (“Holocaust Encyclopedia Death March” 1). The book Night and Maus ended their stories with death marches. Elie father died during the death marches but Vladek Spiegalman did not die until August 18, 1982, long after the war. Vladek Spiegalman was able to continue his story about his life at the concentration camp as well as other survivors but Elies father unfortunately past
away.
Throughout the whole story Night there was inhumanity. The main reason for his story to be written is to inform the world of the terrifying crimes that were taken place during World War II. No one deserves to die, to be beaten, or killed. Everyone should realize how horrific life was and there should not be a repetition of the past. The story should go on; the world should prevent all destruction and should be equal!
