"Evolving from a panel at the 1996 Modern Language Association Convention,
editor Hilene Flanzbaum has gathered twelve essays which review the means
by which the arts have enabled the Holocaust to enter the American
consciousness, gain accepted by the general public, and be transformed by
the experience."

Art Spiegelman's comic books Maus and Maus II are the subject of an essay,
but apparently not GR.
