Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home by Nora Krug
4.0
In this graphic memoir equivalent of a docudrama, Nora Krug provides the fascinating perspective of a German with the inherited guilt from Nazi Germany, as she pursues the truth about her grandparents role in WW2 through documents, trips, and meetings with estranged family members and what the answers might ultimately mean for how she is supposed to understand herself. Illuminating, peculiar, and at times, emotional affecting.
My only slight complaint (which may just be my inattention), is that the consistent switching back and forth between the different sets of grandparents became disorienting and I kept forgetting which grandparents she was talking about and merging them in my head. I resigned myself to not being able to follow it all the time and just remain along for the ride of Nora’s personal journey processing the information.
