In 1993 some Jews were deprived of their jobs and in 1935 all lost their citizenship. The pogroms of the Night of Broken Glass in November 1938 symbolised the radicalisation of the regime.

    about the usage of the animal metaphor to examine race in Maus. The metaphor of Jews as mice is taken directly from Nazi propaganda‚ which portrayed the Jews as a kind of vermin to be exterminated. The purpose of using this metaphor is therefore to undermine the Nazi propaganda by ironically going with it. So the Jews are depicted as mice‚ but Spiegelman shows the humanity of the mice – their innocence‚ their vulnerability‚ their tragic situation. Using different animals as different races also
