The Treatment Of Jews In Maus II

In Maus II, the Jews are mice and the germans are cats what I noticed when reading this is how the Germans treat the Jews and how terrible they treat them like not giving them food, or making them work extra and not get anything to eat all day. The Germans are cats and cats eat mice that is why they are treating the jews like this because the Germans think that the Jews are worthless and that they should be treated the wrong way.

Obviously In Maus II not only the germans are being race towards the Jews but did you also know that Vladek, is being race towards african american people Vadek, is a jew that was at a concentration camp Working for the germans was hard for Valdek, Because he got a low amount of food and sometimes he did not

get any at all. When Vladek, got out of the camp him and Francoise were driving back from the grocery store Francoise, notice something on the road and Vladek said to Francoise “A hitchhiker? and oy it is a colored guy a shvartser PUSH QUICK ON THE GAS”(98) Francoise picks up the guy but vladek, on the other hand kept on looking back at his groceries the whole ride home incase the guy steals them. The only thing Vladek, is showing towards that guy is he is racist towards african american people and that he dislikes them this is the same discrimination that I noticed when reading Maus II that the germans have towards the jews and how they treat them but Valdek is different because the germans kill the jews and Valdek, does not want to kill the black people he only dislikes the black people because they are colored and he thinks that they are going to rob him or do something else.

AFter the holocaust Vladek, was a lucky person to survive the holocaust as I read Maus II I notched Vladek, being racists towards African-American people and how he thinks they are horrible people In Maus II the African-American people are pictured as dogs Vladek, needs to know that people should not judge each other by the way they look because Vladek, himself was being treated like this when he was working for the Germans. And he know how it felt being treated different from everyone else.
