Hey, great video, but I just wanted to make a quick correction. You pronounced Gen wrong. The “G” is not pronounced like “J” like in “Genevieve”, but more like the “G” is like “go”. Wasn’t surprised to see it was included in the list, but was glad to see it represented. “Barefoot Gen” and “Maus” are the only two I know and have read from the list.

Imagine that, banning a book about one of the worst atrocities in hundreds of years in favor of another because of a few 'bad words' that children in high school undoubtedly know of, use on the regular, and in fact would probably benefit from hearing in this context as it would help keep them engaged.

I actually first came across it in a high school text book, but it wasn’t on our reading list.

Too often, we tend to see people around us who are different as animalistic or sub-human, and not as members of the same species.

I find it weird that Maus is in the list since I did a report on it back in High School. It was considered to us a very generic comic book. In fact, I choose Maus because it was the only comic book on the list out of all the other books. Reading it, I didn’t see anything new, it was all the materials we learned as basic in history class. Honestly, I had a hard time writing my essay on why this story is needed in our school’s curriculums because it was just too obvious. All I did was just drawing out my thesis until it hits 5 pages, so if you take away all of the glamor and formality of an essay, you basically get a convincing two page papers. People are so sensitive these days.

How it can be ‘offensive’ is very questionable as George Orwell’s Animal Farm used animals as a pastiche of the Russian Revolution as well. As for the use of the swastika- both Marvel and DC Comics have openly had heroes from Captain America and the Sub-Mariner to the Unknown Soldier and Wonder Woman battle the Nazis and the swastika was openly used in the stories. How PC do they want everyone to be?

Maus isn’t banned you can buy it from major retailers like Amazon and Barnes N Noble if you so wish to read it. If you want actual banned books there’s the 6 dr Seuss books that are almost impossible to find plus they were removed from school libraries

'Maus' wasn't banned in Tennessee, it was simply removed from an 8th grade curriculum.

I just saw Maus in one of the bookstores here in Germany, I told my sister about it being banned at schools in America. She didn't know what I was talking about, learned something new there, if she even listened to what I was telling her.

Technically speaking, "Fun House" is not a graphic novel; it's a graphic "bio" (or graphic biography). A novel would imply that it's fiction, and this is based on Bechdel's life.

In the UK during the 70's ACTION comic was shutdown because it was too graphic. One of the story's was called Hookjaw, a story about a great white shark with a giant hook in its jaw. It contained graphic - for the time - scene's of dismemberment. There was also a Rollerball inspired story with heavy violence.

I like how people are mad about holocaust books and media in general, being UNSETTLING, VIOLENT, forgetting that if you try to put a light hearted twist, those same exact people who say that its unsettling and violent, will get angry that, YOU DIDN'T TELL THE REAL STORY, HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT THE VICTIMS, YOU SHOULD BE IN PRISON!

I've read Fun Home, Barefoot Gen, Persepolis, and Maus. I teach Maus in a private religious high school; my wife teaches Persepolis in the same school. So far, there have been no parental complaints.

I have read maus before. I got more information about the holocaust that way but what surprised me the most is (correct me if I might be wrong) I think at one point in the 1st or 2nd book, a guard threw a kid against the wall and basically killed him.

Maus was base on life experiences of Holocaust survivor who was the father of the man behind Maus Edit: Forgot to mention this I have both volumes of Maus in my Graphic novel collection.

Barefoot Gen, Maus, Persepolis, those three I've read. And have all three on my own bookshelf.

I love cartoons, comic books and graphic novels. I love reading "Maus" and it is one of the important graphic novels to read. I have the original edition and the Norwegian edition because I am Norwegian. Art Spiegelman's "Maus" is the important, fascinating graphic novel of all time since "The Diary of Anne Frank". "Maus" is interesting and important to read. Art Spiegelman is the best and most talented cartoonist and narrator.

I picked up a copy of Maus from my local Walmart. Needless to say, it's a great story that everyone should read once. It fuckin' sucks that it was banned.

I agree. I had a similar interest, but mine was after a conversation with my father's boss' wife when I was a pre-teen. There was a company barbecue, and I was in the food line behind Mrs. S. She was a handsome older woman, very classy, and always wore the most gorgeous long-sleeved blouses. Since it was July, I asked her why she was wearing long sleeves. She smiled & explained that she wore it to cover her concentration camp tattoo...then she showed it to me. The thought of this beautiful, kind woman (and her equally sweet husband) being subject to those horrors was heartbreaking to me, and it fueled the interest of finding out how people could be so cruel to each other.

Most may be understood as the material presented being availed to a very generally aged group who may or may not ready to process such material. In that light, some common sense restriction would have been in better order. That #1 slot, Maus yet astounds me. Spiegleman was so brilliant to utilize the anthropomorphic representations for the purpose of taking just enough off of the horror of the reality that the human could take in and process the information! I have complete respect for the Polish people but the choice of porcine images likely reflected the then contemporary capsulized opinion of their government (bear in mind the Pole conductor to helped Art's folks to conceal their IDs on the public train). And to be *shocked* that a book [graphic or otherwise] about the WW2 Holocaust era: Are you flocking whackadoodle? That edition's cover would be explicitly appropriate to utilize the ill-appropriated symbol! Generally: While some common sense is highly suggested, the list illustrates why MORE unrestricted speech is needed, not less.
