I'm not familiar with the book, but the author obviously knew what he was talking about and others got his message, as one commentator says:

„A masterpiece

MAUS is a powerful work about generational trauma. It’s not just about the Shoah but about the repercussions through the generations of those who survived. It is a deeply human story, using animal metaphors to tell eternal truths.

Why should we take Hitler's or Goebbels' opinion into account and thereby give them power?
