It's a comic that symbolizes the holocoust. The Jews, I think, were represnted by mice, the Nazis by cats and the Americans as dogs.

It won some big awards, and is highly regarded as far as comics go. I am very interested in reading it, but i cannot find the title.

Does anyone have any idea?

Also, does anyone know some more stuff in the genre in the same vein?

For additional reading:

Barefoot Gen, loosely based on the life of a Hiroshima survivor. He has also written some autobiographical comics.
