Using The Complete Maus to Enhance the Student's Understanding of Maus

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Young scholars read The Complete Maus to explore how Maus is actually three books in one. In groups, they evaluate the book as a tale of surviving the Holocaust and a tale of impacting future generations. They examine the conditions at Auschwitz and reflect on what it meant to be child of a Holocaust survivor.
