2It's about UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust. [[ForegoneConclusion What do you expect?]]
3* At Auschwitz, when the bodies were pulled out of the gas chambers, they were pushed into ditches and set on fire. Not all of them were dead. The fires were kept burning longer by recycling the burnt fat of the victims...
4* The four hanged women. There's a scene in the present that's drawn as if they're hanging there, a sort of flashback.
5* "Prisoner on the Hell Planet", the comic Art makes about his mother's suicide is this mixed with TearJerker.
6* The cargo trains people were packed into with no food, water or facilities for days on end.
7* The countless times Vladek tells of someone who he knew, was friends with, had a plan, etc and after they parted ways they were never seen again.
8* The illustration of the burning mice that opens chapter two, book two. NightmareFace at its finest.
9* The SS officer who grabs a screaming child by the foot and slams him against the wall.
10* The fact that Tosha fatally poisoned herself, Art's older brother and her children, and this was treated as '''merciful''' compared to being sent to a death camp, speaks volumes about how horrifying Nazism was that Tosha killing children could ever come across as the '''right decision'''.
