Nirvana Comics is Raising Money to Purchase Maus for Students

Nirvana Comics in Knoxville, Tennessee is running a GoFundMe to raise money and purchase copies of Maus. Their plan is to give away the copies to local students as well as those across the US. Students interested in getting one can message the store on Facebook or Instagram.

The fundraising effort is in response to a Tennessee school board’s vote of 10-0 to ban the graphic novel from being used to teach about the Holocaust in school. The school board claims some of the language and images are offensive.

As of the writing of this post, the effort has raised over $62,000 from over 1,900 individuals, well above the $20,000 goal.
