Jews are oppressed by having their rights taken away. Their businesses are taken away. They are sent to death camps by the millions.

Are you referring to the book MAUS?

yes Aslan , referring to the book Maus. sorry forgot to mention that

Spiegelman's use of mice to portray the Jews is a play off the Nazis considering them vermin. Spiegelman isn’t making fun of anyone here, he is attempting to use ethnic stereotypes to break down the allegory that some people feel or felt was true. He was using these stereotypes as a platform to show people how Jews were oppressed. Not he uses cats to portray the Nazis.

Thank you heaps Aslan. And do you know anything about the book 'Stolen', by Jane harrison..same question as this one for Maus..
