Horrors of the holocaust - Vladek
pg 109 (Bibi, Lonia, Richuei were killed)
The Jewish authorities explain how the Nazis marched the previous group of released war prisoners into the forest and then shot all of them- "They killed 600 people!"
pg 83 (hanged)
Cohn and Vladek used to do business together
Germans had hung Cohn and his son as examples
He first showed that he only cared about the cloths Cohn gave him without needing coupons.
"Often he gave me cloth with no coupons"
Wife of Cohn terrified and screaming on the streets
Vladek give no perspective of his sorrow or sadness
Represents the theme of horror as people familiar with Vladek and his father in law were hanged just as an example and to scare citizens.
Vladek later on page 84 tells Artie that he wasnt able to get out of the house as he was frightened to pass by their hanging bodies.
This tells us that Vladek was in horror to what the Nazi's had done and that this was a horrifying moment for him to see familiar people being hung on the street.
A splash panel is used to depict the gruesome scene that occurred and would have happened to Vladek as well
pg 61 (all the panels)
"we were the next party" Vladek was clearly panicked, on the next page first panel he admits "I was very frightened"
"But a Jew of the reich, anyone could kill in the streets!" emphasises on how unfair the atrocities they faced were and depicts his anger
Tosha is told that the remaining people would have to work and live in gas chambers
Tosha kills the children and then suicides as she doesnt want her children to work and live in a place like that
Vladek says that it was a tradgedy and that Richieu was a happy and beautiful boy
Vladek does not give much persepctive on this but mentions that many people died which shows that he understood why this was done and why his son was killed
this portrays the theme as it horrifying for a father and mother to loose their child in such a tradgedy.
The amount of fear Artie shows, his anger at the unfair conditions, and the sadness he still has due to it represent how terrible the atrocities of the Holocaust were.
