Maus I and II by Art Spiegelman

It’s movie season! Jennifer and Courtney are excited about this summer’s box office hits…Barbie, Oppenheimer, and…The Sound of Freedom? Join them as they discuss what has movie-goers all in a tizzy ranging from female empowerment to an inaccurate portrayal of human trafficking produced by antisemitic conspiracy theorists. With antisemitic incidents on the rise and anti-student inclusion organizations like Moms for Liberty quoting Hitler, books like Maus I and II by Art Spiegelman are vital to protect...which is why Jennifer and Courtney are asking why a historical account featuring a cartoon mouse is on the chopping block of censorship. Tune in to hear what has School Boards and parents so upset about a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel that transforms cartoon drawings into a masterpiece that shoulders the heaviness of Jewish genocide brought on by Nazis.  Sources: “Maus” Author Discusses Tennessee Book Ban, Book Burning | JewishBoston Why does the Barbie movie have Republicans in such a tizzy? | Katrina vanden Heuvel | The Guardian ‘Barbie’ Seems to Have Destroyed Ben Shapiro QAnon supporters are promoting 'Sound of Freedom.'
