January 27th is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The UN General Assembly designates this day back in 2005 with the purpose of commemorating the victims of the Holocaust as well as to promote education on the Holocaust world wide. These are a few books from my shelves about the Holocaust. Pictured: Maus I&II by Art Spiegelman. The author tells his grandfather’s story in comic book format The Night Journey by Kathryn Lasky: A teenage girl spends time with her great-grandmother who begins to tell her the story of her childhood as a young Jewish girl in Russia Anne Frank - needs no introduction. Not pictured: The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak I will be posting a list of other books related to the Holocaust that are in my TBR which I hope is useful to you as well in your reading. Is there any related reading you recommend? #holocaustremembranceday #holocaust #holocaustremembrance #holocaustbooks #bookstagram #bookblogger #theresabookforthat #thenightjourney #maus #kathrynlasky #artspiegelman #annefrank #recommendedreading #tbr #books #reading #readmorebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CoBwe2vLt7q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

お正月なのに悲しい出来事です。私の古い友人が旅立ちました。信じられない。 映画、音楽、アート（漫画も含む）にエネルギーを一番注いでいる20代全般、 彼女とバンド的なモノをやっていて私は曲を制作してました。今も昔も私の音楽の一番の理解者です。当時は傷だらけの天使的なバカな生活をしていてお金はありませんでしたが毎日がスゴク楽しいそんな感じ。ある日、彼女が「サンフランシスコにちょっと行って来てもいいかなぁ？」って言うから私は「いいよ」って言ったら、東京に戻って来なかった。映画とアートは皆さんにお披露目出来たけど、音楽は彼女なしでは無理なのでお披露目は出来��せんでした。しかし、その後もテープやCD等で私に様々タイプの音楽を届けてくれました。（アートも）私が大人（収入のある）になってサンフランシスコに住んだ時もお世話になったし、古着雑貨店をオープンした時も買い付け等も非常にお世話になりました。そんな彼女はTom and Jerry のjellyみたいに目がキラキラしてる子だった。女の子でした。 写真は彼女が送ってくれたArt Spiegelman編集のLittle Litです。 （なんとサインをもらってくれました） #サンフランシスコ #sunfrancisco #tomandjerry #トムとジェリー #アートスピーゲルマン #artspiegelman #リトルリット #littlelit #吉祥寺 #kichijoji (Kichijoji,tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm78ZgDyHVx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. It’s Friday, and it’s time for another review. Today, I am reviewing the graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman. Maus was first published as a seria from 1980 to 1991 before it’s first of two volumes were com[piled and released by Pantheon Books. It is 296 pages long. The PlotMaus is a graphic novel and a powerful and poignant memoir that recounts the…

BLACKOUT IN THE RED ROOM

But, I think we have to look at Ilan Manouach's Katz first.

Art Spiegelman's autobiographical comic Maus, a narration of the sufferings Spiegelman's Jewish family had to endure by Nazi Germany in the course of World War II, appears also to be a work known far beyond the medium's borders – and such without ever facing a cinematic adaption.

Moreover was it awarded with a Pulitzer prize, thus making Spiegelman the first cartoonist to receive this kind of honor. Like a duck takes to water, it became part of a canon of values and thereby a target for other artists. On the other hand, apparently the treated subjects presented in Maus, to be read as Judenhass here, make any attack seem extremely tasteless in no time.

Ilan Manouach, being descended of a Greek-Jewish family and taking offense at the attribution of various species of animals to several ethnicities, replaced every animal head with those of cats, and made the otherwise completely unchanged work public by giving it out in Angoulême during Spiegelman's presidency of the comics festival's jury ten years ago.

This subversion of artistry including subsequent action for an injunction may be debatable, but, and out of the purest kind of love, provoking an argument on reinforcing stereotypes was the artistic intention here. A modus operandi which simply makes it art responding to art.

Which the Jim Rugg drawn “parody” cover of Maus for the third and recently pulled back issue of Ed Piskor's torture porn series Red Room is not. With an almost exactly copied typographic concept taken from the first of two books collecting the Maus episodes pre-published in Spiegelman's magazine Raw, it's showing two people awaiting to get tortured in front of a camera for viewer's entertainment and payments.

That's Red Room's single and only plot point, though pretty okay with me, if you're into stuff like that. I too think it hasn't that much to add to the oh-not-so-contemporary-at-all discourse in “violence induced by consuming media and the somber sides of the abyss called internet, connecting people of all perversions capable” - it's just entertaining trash and probably finds fulfillment in that.

BUT, the original cover of Maus stages two mice, which have to be read as Jewish people in the context of Spiegelman's iconography, awaiting the murderous Holocaust. At least the Liefeld cover placed at the beginning of this piece, and I'm pretty sure it's not by Liefeld himself, but a fan photoshopped mash-up, is of an empowering and not degrading character as the one Rugg did for Piskor's series. That the latter got greenlit by Fantagraphics, doesn't make their editorial processes looking good, while having the fight for acceptance of a medium being viewed as childish written on their banner.

Well, after the seemingly in-priced online outrage, Jim Rugg was the only one to drop a convincing excuse. To my knowledge - and I’d love to stand corrected - Piskor did not comment on this emphatic disaster thus continuing to ignore the suffering of people that were murdered in an incomparable manslaughter the world had never seen before and since because of its perfidious singularity showing in an elaborate system of extermination. And, in the light of recent events, it clearly doesn't help to defend Maus against those who have an interest in banning it.

So this might just be a rather thoughtless and dumb joke from people growing up in an environment of Nazis being the villains in countless and trashy incarnations on TV and in comic books, and yes, there was a genre named “Stalag fiction” (Stalag = German abbreviation for 'Straflager', meaning 'dentention camp'), which is dedicated to give in to sexually connoted fantasies happening in concentration camps with abusers, but those were created by Jews, and they had every fucking right in the world to do so. But in the aftermath of the infuriating critique massively brought up, making use of your brain would have been a sexy thing, too.

Because, no matter the amount of blood you're splattering around during desperately trying to walk the edge, in the end it's always turning brown while drying out.

Triebgesteuerter Todeswahn

40 Jahre lang schrieb Boris Lurie an einem Text, in dem er das Trauma und die Schuld, den Holocaust überlebt zu haben, verarbeiten wollte. Jahre nach seinem Tod liegt nun sein verstörender Roman »Haus von Anita« vor, in dem Holocaust und Pornografie die Klingen kreuzen. Read the full article
