The main subject of my thesis is to explore the possibilities of integrating comics into the learning-teaching process. The goal of my thesis is to present the features and uses of comics that can support learning in an effective and efficient way. I focus my research on the goals and ambitions of the subject of history, highlighting the importance of research-based learning methodology, which I explore in the context of the Holocaust curriculum. I do all this through Art Spiegelman's comic entitled Maus. The case studies and lesson plans examined from the perspective of contemporary pedagogical principles revealed that comics can make the history of the Holocaust personal, accessible and easy to understand, and provide connections about its impact on today's world.
