Le roman graphique Persepolis de Marjane Satrapi est loin d’être un simple récit du passage à l’âge adulte. L’œuvre autobiographique, projetée sur fond d’un pays au climat sociopolitique hostile, raconte l’histoire d’une jeune fille qui grandit dans l’Iran révolutionnaire, un endroit où les arrestations et la torture sont des événements habituels. Le roman graphique Maus, d’Art Spiegelman, retrace l’histoire de l’Holocauste vue à travers les yeux du personnage principal, Vladek, qui juxtapose les détails de la vie quotidienne à l’énormité de l’expérience. Cet article analyse le contexte social, historique et culturel qui a conduit à la révolution iranienne et à la guerre Irak-Iran, d’une part, et à la plus grande extermination des Juifs de l’histoire, d’autre part. Il illustre comment les mensonges, les idées fausses et les actions meurtrières peuvent être justifiés par des vertus ou de prétendues bonnes intentions.
