Based on the little we discussed in class as well as the title and cover of the first comic, I would assume that this would be a story of surviving through the Holocaust. From what Diana had said about how the first one didn't meet her expectations, I'm also going to assume that the first one won't go incredibly in depth with this. That will probably mostly be the second one. Maybe this one will be almost a prelude to the disaster. It'll be interesting to find out.

Maus isn't just a tale about the Holocaust--it's also a tale about the relationship between a father and son--so while some of the scenes might not seem important at first glance because they don't deal directly with the Holocaust, they become important when considered in that context. I definitely recommend looking at the story from both angles, because you'll start to see all kinds of interesting connections.
