This is a creation designed
to highlight the continuing effects of the Holocaust on the children of
survivors. The comic book MAUS leaves us with no question

Father's survival of the Holocaust. To what 
extent
is this true for every child of a survivor? And therefore, is it possible
to ever be truly removed from the Holocaust?
