How does Vladek become wealthy? He marries Anja and his father-in-law gives him the money to start a textile factory. You just studied 11 terms! He was the one who never had to experienced the holocaust and thereby survived it all. He even suggests that people may need a bigger, newer Holocaust.
Although survival is a key theme, the graphic novel explores how Holocaust survivors in The Complete Maus grapple with their deep psychological scars.
Why do they eventually leave Auschwitz? Is this the end of their troubles? The Russians are approaching and they need to dismantle the camp. Those who cannot make the march are shot. In Maus, guilt is viewed as an emotion that compels us to consider our responsibility toward others.
Vladek and Artie both have pasts that they wish they could just forget. Art, who isolated himself from his father in adulthood, develops his identity as an artist. When he reconnects with his father for the purpose of writing Maus, he begins to become unsure of his identity. A mask stands for concealing or assuming a different identity, but in Maus they are used to signify identity as well, so that it becomes an integral part of life narrative. Richieu dies during the war, when his Aunt Tosha poisons him to prevent him from being captured by Nazi soldiers during the evacuation of Zawiercie.
When the Germans invade Poland, and conditions worsen for the Jews, Vladek moves easily from his role as a successful businessman to a black market trader to a jack-of-all-trades, with a talent for skilled labor and disguise when necessary.
While others despair, he is a voice of hope. Lolek refuses to hide in the bunker because he is sick of hiding and believes because he is a skilled worker that wherever they put him, he will be okay.
He does not make a smart decision because he was sent away to Auschuwitz. Why would Vladek compare Art to Walt Disney? How does Janina, the governess react when Vladek and Anja come to her for help? Why does Vladek ride in the official streetcar with the Germans, rather than in the second car with the Poles? Yes because if the gestapo found Vladek and Anja in her house, all 3 of them would be in trouble.
I would agree with him that Haskel is a kombinator and I think that he should tell him what he thinks. The graphic novel Maus by Art Speigelman displays an increasingly tense relationship between him and his father, Vladek. This correlation between past and present events causes Art to start feeling guilty for the standoffish way he has always treated his father, and instills a deep sense of guilt within his heart.

How does Janina, the governess react when Vladek and Anja come to her for help? She slams the door in their faces because she thought that they would bring trouble. Why would Vladek compare Art to Walt Disney? How is Vladek able to help Anja survive Auschwitz? Vladek gives Anja advice to keep her food and told her not to give the food out to her friends.
Vladek also sends Anja food to keep her somewhat healthy. Vladek knew that he could use his skills to help him survive. First, Vladek taught English which resulted in not only survival, but Vladek also acquired clothing of his choice which almost no other person in his concentration had the privilege to do.
Vladek saves cigarettes and food to bribe the guards to get Anja assigned to new barracks. The significance of the title Maus I by Art Spiegelman is that the German word for mouse immediately points out the way Jews were viewed by the Germans. Because Spiegelman is an artist, all the people are portrayed as animals with the Nazis being cats which hunt.
Spiegelman chose deliberately animals for his story, because he wants that the reader associates certain characteristics with certain animals.
