Part I of Maus is called, "My Father Bleeds History." Why do you think Spiegalman chose to call it that?

I think that Spiegelman chose to name Part 1 of Maus in this way because he felt that it conveyed its purpose well. "My Father Bleeds History." These words draw the reader in, perhaps because they want to find out why Vladek Spiegelman bleeds history instead of blood. Art Spiegelman's father tells him stories about his time leading up to the Holocaust in a way akin to how blood spills from an open wound: fast and flowing. The stories go straight from Vladek's mouth to Art's notebook, and his father's metaphorical lifeblood is transcribed in his book. I think "My Father Bleeds History" is an eloquent name, well thought up for its purpose.
