The book A Survivor's Tale by Art Spiegelman is a highly successful account of Vladek's experience during the Holocaust. It tells the story of a Jewish Holocaust survivor and his son who is a cartoonist who turns his father's story into a comic. The son, Art, finds this event terrifying but also interesting, so he believes others should read it from the mouth of a true survivor. The story jumps back and forth from the present day to the days of the war. Art visits his father continually to record parts of his story, but he does not have a well-developed relationship with his father, so these visits become tense. The father, Vladek, begins the story by telling how he met Art's mother, Anja, who also survived the Holocaust, but who later committed suicide in May 1968. Much of the story is the contact between Art and Vladek; Anja's death is an important part of their relationship. It might be why they don't have a righteous relationship. They have different ideas about Anja. For Vladek, Anja is the perfect wife; she was tidy, rich, brilliant and spoke many languages ​​fluently like Vladek, whose mastery of the language saves him in many situations. For Art, Anja is a needy and emotional mother, but also the most compassionate towards him. We never get her side of the story, especially since after she commits suicide, Vladek destroys her diaries as he is unable to tolerate any images of Anja. In addition to his mother's tragedy, Art has a brother, Richieu, born before the war who he never meets. His mother's sister, Tosha, took Richieu to stay with a relative to keep him away from the camps. Eventually the Germans arrive in the city and take the Jews to the camps so Tosha commits suicide and poisons Richieu, along with her own children.

They would encounter problems in one place, so it was essential to move to different houses. Children spend much of their childhood with strangers. Imagining the children, their main concern was probably whether their families would survive the war and that they would not be able to find their parents when it was all over. As children were taken away by complete strangers, it was likely that they would never see their parents or other relatives again. During the Holocaust, Jews were forced to live in ghettos. The conditions were terrifying and damaging. To distinguish Jews from non-Jews, the Nazis forced Jews to wear the Star of David on their clothing. If they tried to escape they were given the death penalty.
