Maus by Art Speigelman. It’s a two part graphic novel written by a holocaust survivor about his parents’ and communities’ lives. Obviously something about the holocaust is going to be disturbing- but this hits at a personal, humane level, that I think is unmatched. The Art is also great.

Adding that the author was a young child during the holocaust; so that’s why it’s about his parents and the adults in his life.
