"Mickey Mouse is the most miserable ideal ever revealed... Healthy emotions tell every young man and every honourable youth that the dirty and filth-covered vermin, the greatest bacteria carrier in the animal kingdom, cannot be the ideal type of animal ... Away with Jewish brutalisation of the people! Down with Mickey Mouse! Wear the Swastika Cross!" - a Nazi magazine in Pomerania in the 1930s. It forms the epigraph for Art Speigelman's "Maus."
