Maus Project
Holocaust and Spiegelman Timelines
Art Spiegelman’s Maus is the true story of his father, Vladek, surviving the Holocaust. Many events that happen in Vladek’s life coincide with major events during the World War II.
Your job is to create one timeline that includes events from the historical Holocaust and World War II, and another timeline that includes events from Vladek Spiegelman’s life. Also, you must find at least 5 connections between the two timelines and explain them each in a paragraph.
This 100 point project should include:
A timeline of the major events that occurred during the Holocaust and/or World War II that includes at least 20 events
Under it, a timeline of at least 10 significant events that happened to Vladek Spiegelman before, during, and after the war
Draw at least 5 connections
Explain each connection in its own, separate paragraph (for a total of at least 5 paragraphs)
You may want to ask yourself: How did world events affect Vladek? What was happening in the overall war and how did these events affect Vladek directly?
