okay here we have mouthful in Chapter
six last one from house one another
visits anybody home door was unlocked
mama were you crying no no I tell you
I'm at my wit's end
Oh what now your father as if we were
just if i were just this major worse his
nurse now this maid has days off she
gets paid he only gives me 50 bucks a
month when i need a pair of stockings I
have to use my own savings
well he doesn't change whenever I need
the school supplies or new clothes mom
would have to plead and argue from weeks
before he'd cough up any dough when I
try to re when I try to argue with him
he moans he's gonna have another heart
attack I can't be sure if he's faking so
I have to stop I feel like I'm in
president I feel like I'm gonna burst
I'm gonna get some juice you want some
no but I tell you something when we
first got married I needed clothes it
was a year and a half after Anya died he
took me to her closet and he says see
everything's for you I said I wouldn't
touch her things my god how that man
carried on I swear sometimes I think he
just married me cuz I'm the same size as
Anya he's always been um mm pragmatic
pragmatic cheap causes some physical
pain to part with a nickel uh-huh
I used to think the war made him that
way if I went through the camp's all our
friends went through the camps nobody's
like him something that worries me about
the book I'm doing about him some ways
he's just like the racist character of
the miserly old old you ha say that again
again
I mean I'm just trying to portray my
father accurately even for himself he
won't spend any money he has hundreds of
thousands of dollars in the bank and he
lives like a popper look he grabs paper
towels from restrooms so we won't have
to buy napkins or tissues
what you got mom's her while she was
alive she was more sensitive it would
give the book some balance your mother I
just don't know how she could stand
living with him I don't know how I
consent oh oh hi kids
I didn't know you're upstairs here I was
watering downstairs the garden oh now
we're just talking about my book I've
already started to sketch out some parts
I'll show you see you're the black
markets with the hang the Jews in
Sausalito and here's you saying uh when
I think of them it still makes me cry
yes still makes me cry
it's an important book people who don't
usually read such stories will be
interested in that right they're
stepping away from the text is one of
the benefits I think of this is that he
by creating a graphic novel or a parable
has brought the Holocaust to a whole new
world of people however that right there
is also one of the criticisms that he's
somehow belittling it I have a let you
decide continuing it I don't read such
comics and I am interested well of
course you're interested it's your story
yes I know already my story by hearts
and even I am interested it should be
very successful
yes what's his name you know the big
chef the cartoonist what cartoonists

have an appointment at the hairdresser's
again to the hairdresser only once a
week ago she sees more often a dresser
than she sees me you see how it is
anytime I want to go out for a few
minutes he makes me feel guilty I'm
supposed to be at his constant beck and
call what I said that's so terrible

the gardens and from 100 registers oh
he's like stop it you see how she is
what you have to do with her come on pop
let's go sit in the garden big argument
she said she wants to leave me a tell
her so here's the door but remember it's
only goes one way if you go out you

depicts her look at this one what is
unique about this panel on 136 in the
bottom-left they're both wearing masks
but how is Anya depicted in a way that
shows her more Jewish in appearance you
can't hide as easily how was that
depicted here well her tail right she
can't get rid of everything Vladek can
hide easily she has certain
characteristics that just look Jewish
she can't hide as easily she can't wear
a mask as easily maybe we should turn my

I travelled often with the streetcar
into town it was two cars one for German
officials and the second was for the
poles always I went straight into the
official car Heil Hitler
the Germans paid no attention to me in
the Polish they could smell if a Polish
Jew came in at the black market I saw
several times a nice woman once I made a
little friends with her good morning mr.

home for three days every three four for
ten days every three months
I'll keep you hidden in the cellar when
he's around sounds good to me but it's
over 20 kilometers to your house in soup

came with her seven-year-old boy to
Coco's farm I walked with mattone was if
she was my wife and Anya like a
governess went with the little boy
behind and nobody even looked at this we
had a little comfort we had where to sit
remember little one never tell anybody
that they were Jews they'll shoot us all
yes aunt Anya the little boy was very
smart he loved very much Anya you had to
pay mrs. matura to keep you right of
course and I paid well what do you think
somebody's willing to risk their life
for nothing
I paid also for the food which he gave
to us from her smuggling business but
one time I missed a few coins did the
bread I'll pay the rest tomorrow I have
to record some cash some valuables mmm
sorry I wasn't able to find any bread
today Oh is she got bread so I didn't
believe but still she was good woman and
his school the boy was very bad in
German so I knew a tutor Tim she knew
German like an expert and soon he came
in with very good grades my teacher
asked how I improved so much and they
all kind of hold their breath so I told
that my mother was helping me he was
very clever the boy but that was few
things you're not so good
her home was very small and it was on
the ground floor be sure to keep away
from the window you might be seen when
minutes quick get in the closet
somebody came we had to hide fast a
letter from your husband mr. Mottola oh

you must get out oh my god this is the
end and it started to cry but we have no choice
choice
we walked her so stoic at least we'll
know we're way around and you know saw
afraid she was shaking stay calm well
walk as if you're just strolling speak
German four hours we watched her being followed
followed
relax but if we turn the corner they
also turned of course I was right they
didn't mean anything on us they were
just walking staying on the streetcar
all night is too dangerous and maybe we
can hide in that construction site oh
good I'm exhausted
here is foundation made very deep in the
ground be careful I jumped in first and
pulled over bricks for I need to step
down and here we waited a cold few hours
for the day it started to be light come
we won't be noticed if we mix in with
the balls in the street oh I'm so tired
we can rest now we can't finally again
to the place with the coun once inside

don't know you're here what speak I'm in

for an hour and warm up
she took Annie inside and brought to me
some food in those days that was so
strong I could even sit in the snow all
night things can't be this bad
everywhere I'd give anything to get out
of Poland you know before I took you in
I got a young man in his son here the
people I know smuggled them into hungry
I heard he and his boy they're hungry
really I'd like to meet those smugglers
she told me these acquaintances visited
often to her on Thursday evenings today
was maybe a Monday I don't get it wasn't
hungry as dangerous as Poland no for a
longer time it was better there wasn't
hungry for the Jews but then near the
very finish of the war they all got to
put into Auschwitz I was there I saw
thousands hundreds of thousands of Jews
from hungry so many it was even there
wasn't room enough to bury them in the
ovens but at the time when I was there
with cowgirl we couldn't know that so I
went the next day to took her to buy
some food ok mrs. Spiegelman you're
alive I'm so glad to see you miss my Toma

you were here he threw us all out but
don't worry you'll be all right in my
cellar set up a mattress I'll come down
whenever I can so I'd stay a night we
sat in storage locker and the days we
were afraid to grieve people came down
