Mala Spiegelman
Quote 1
“All our friends went through the camps. Nobody is like him!” (I.6.133)
Mala’s statement is an important reminder that Vladek’s experience doesn’t represent the experience of all Jews. It reminds us that there are no simple explanations for Vladek’s behavior. Spiegelman includes other Jewish survivors in the book to make this point.

Quote 2
“You should know it’s impossible to argue with your father.” (I.3.45)
Art isn’t the only one who chafes under his father’s stubbornness, as these words from Mala show.
