Aaron’s Personal Piece
I started dating a Jewish girl this year and in turn I decided “Maus” would be a fun read, especially as she said she had read it before. I thought it would be interesting to talk to her about something that she’s learned about much more than I have and thought it would be good to read because I could ask questions if I had any. In the end, I was right! I read it while she was doing other homework and would often ask her questions or laugh with her about the Yiddish sayings that the book uses. I learned the meaning of many common Yiddish phrases, which made reading “Maus” much more fun.
