Recently the McMinn County Tennessee Board of Education removed Pulitzer Prize-Winning graphic novel “Maus” from its curriculum due to “unnecessary use of profanity and nudity and its depiction of violence and suicide.” Maus tells the true story of the author’s parents, who survived the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.
The Humanities Center and the WVU Campus Read will host a group of WVU professors and alumni who have read “Maus,” studied and taught the book over the past 30 years for a lively discussion of Art Spiegelman’s Maus, censorship and the role of the Humanities in helping us better understand the world in which we live Monday, Feb. 21, at 6 p.m. via Zoom.
