Maus/Night

Both of the Maus books and Night are very similar to each other, but they are also different in many ways. While reading Night, it is from the point of view of someone directly in the Holocaust, and the Maus books were both based in and out of a concentration camp. But in the end, the concentration camps both had the same effects on the characters, and they all ended up with some sort of emotional problems. Both of these books just go to show how scarring the concentration camps of the Holocaust were, and jow your life would never really be the same after the fact, even if you did survive. Both of these books proved the fact that concentration camps were inhumane and wrong, and they also put an interesting story along with it. For example, in Night, prisoners of the concentration camp would constintly be beated relentlessly for no apperent reason, as well as in Maus 1. In Maus 2, it was basically just the aftermath of a concentration camps vicims son, and how he thinks his father is going crazy due to his expirience during the Holocaust.
