The final legs of Vladek's journey during and after the Holocaust take place in Maus II. Vladek tells his son—the author of the book, Art—that he was transferred to Dachau. At this point, he has been separated from his wife Anja. They find ways to stay in touch though when Vladek acquires a job that takes him to Anja's camp for work. As he is throughout the Holocaust and even before the family is taken to the camps, Vladek is very resourceful in helping himself and his wife survive. The conditions are awful, but Vladek persists and finds ways to turn horrible elements of his environment to his advantage. Also in the second book, Vladek tells Art how the Nazis take the prisoners on the Death Marches. Many prisoners die on the journey, but Vladek is able to survive. Once the war is over and Vladek has been freed, he must make his way home, and it takes longer than we might expect, but he is eventually reunited with Anja. Unfortunately, both Vladek and Anja have lost most of their family members, including their son Richieu.
