"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."
