MAUS II

The most disturbing image to me was the bottom block on page 72.


I don't know if it is the image, or the words that go along with it, or a combination of the two. The text on that strip just really stuck with me, "and the fat from the burning bodies they scooped and poured again so everyone could burn better." The facial expressions on the mice in the picture and the fact that you can see there ribs just disturbs me a lot. The pictures makes me think of how painful it would be to burn alive. And just the pain that is brought to me by looking at the picture. Then you get the added visual effects of the old bodies that had already burned and the thought of them being poured on top of the people that were still alive is utterly disgusting.
