First, Art Spiegelman used some animals to represent human characteristics suited to the cultural context of the Holocaust. According to the idea of ​​Adolf Hitler, Jews do not belong to the human race, but parasites started the Holocaust during World War II. As he said: “The Jews are undoubtedly a race, but they are not human” (Andrew Loman). Under his leadership, Er Sturmer, a Nazi newspaper publication, and some anti-Semitic publications think that the image of rats is a suitable image to describe Jews because they believe that Jews should be eliminated as parasites. At the time, in the eyes of most of Nazi Germany, rats were a cultural stereotype of Jews. In Maus, Art Spiegelman used Nazi Germany's idea that Jews are disease-carrying parasites to portray Jews as the image of mice. Secondly, animal images helped Art Spiegelman reveal the social reality of the Holocaust in an entertaining way during that period. Art Spiegelman did not want to take the ethical risk of directly representing the issue of racism, so he follows the form of Disney cartoons with their way of transferring racist aspects in an entertaining way, which was an American mass culture in the 20th century. He used different animals to differentiate the breed. For example, he used cat and mouse, which are an innate antagonism, to metaphorize that Nazi Germany's duty was to wipe them out. In the book he described Jews as mice, Germans as cats, Poles as pigs and Americans as dogs. Art Spiegelman vividly depicts the relationship between Jews, Germans and Poles using the food chain, like cat and mouse. Art Spiegelman shows a nicer way to differentiate race characteristics during the Holocaust period using animal but not human images
