Speaking of POW camps, have you ever read Maus? It's the story of a Jew who survived Auschwitz. Was my first graphic novel and I absolutely love it! It's very metaphoric as the Nazis are drawn as cats while the Jews are represented by mice. Very engaging and heart-tearing piece of art!

Speaking of the Holocaust, there is a lot of great literature about and around this subject. One of the books I liked about it is Markus Zusak's The Book Thief which was also adopted to a movie by the same name.

I have seen rave reviews of Maus for a long time but have only read bits and pieces.
