What do you mean, "like what," you're the genius denying the Holocaust, through Blobel or what ever else you choose to misrepresent the Holocaust with. There is a large amount of evidence. Eye witness testimony, perpetrator testimony, archaeological evidence, contemporary reports of the sites where killings occurred. Diary evidence, documentary evidence, absence of Jews evidence, statistical evidence. Everything that allows the Historian to put a full picture together.
Oh now it's the scale, DZ, higher, lower, you mean more Jews should have been bumped off? Less? None? Lets see now, how many bullets can you fit in an average crate? That was a revelation. So that's already 2 million shot.
It's certainly not up to me to dish it all of that up again for you, is it? That would be Very Boring. As boring as your tedious attempt to boil it all down to Paul Blobel was now. You haven't read Spector's article have you? If you haven't read that Dogzilla, what is the point in embarking upon further discussion of Nazi attempts to efface the physical traces of mass murder?
So be it. As for this peculiar obtuse BS about Maus. These guys hate it because it's very popular. They have their warped A. Wyatt Mann, crap. Nowhere near as talented a draftsman.
Art Spiegelman recorded his father's life story upon tape and supplemented it using hand written notes. He transcribed the conversations he had with his father and began to sketch them out into a comic book format, which is after all just another form of media. And it's not so strange really as the Norman French depicted the victory of Duke William in 1066 through continuous strip cartoon woven tapestry. Granted, without the main characters being animals. However, as for "mice and cats," he is a comic book artist first and foremost and that was his particular medium and he chose to represent people as certain animals. All that is is a merged cartoon with autobiography. As an aside, I don't know if you guys noticed it and all but comic-books grew up some time ago? Some of them have very complex plot structures adult themes and characterisations.
Art needed also psychologically to get to grips with his father's peculiar survivor behaviour where he was living in the "Catskills" in NY State. Whilst at points the metaphor does break down, Art acknowledges this was this case. Nevertheless it was still an extremely effective way to portray the narrative which Spiegelman had collected.
And indeed if they are so apparently lacking in grey matter that I had to explain it to them to that length so that they can finally grasp a comic artist's choice of metaphor to portray Germans as "cats" and Jews as "mice," which making some sort of jabbing @whine-level fuss, is there any real point in discussing things like grown-ups with them?
As an additional piece of information, in a school book upon the History of Jamaica, from 1973 students are asked to depict the every day life of black slaves in the C 18th through the medium of a strip cartoon. Does that mean because that medium of expression was suggested to demonstrate learning and understanding, that there was no black slavery in Jamaica? Of course not. Once again deniers have problems sorting out fact from fiction. Poor dears. I'll be looking for a copy of this new Spiegelman book as I am an admirer of well crafted comic books.
