Analysis of Image in Maus II

The image and description on page 71 particularly disturbed me as it showed and described how the Nazis would burn the jews alive and then use the already dead bodies of the Jewish as kindling for the still alive being burned. Obviously this description and the idea that this even happened is horrendous however the picture is disturbing. Obviously Spiegelman is a comic artist but it is obvious that his pictures add a sort of funky, disturbing mood to the ideas presented. (and this was obviously his objective).
