This is a very interesting book and it's very well done; I love the art style and the focus on archival material and memory... but I just don't want to read it, and it's making me not read other graphic nonfiction and novels I really want to get to. I think part of it is the subject matter: I simply am not interested in WW2-related topics, save very specific exceptions. To be fair, this would have been one of those exceptions, but I do feel the structure lags in places. There're multiple strands of narrative and the way they are interwoven can be quite uneven at times.
I would definitely recommend this if it sounds like your thing, but also do believe it could've been better edited.

Unfortunately, I didn't love this as much as my classmates did. Germany, Germany.
