Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home by Nora Krug

4.0

---

Solid examination of German guilt among the next generation of Germans, with a personal lens and scrapbook style. I was worried about a memoir from this perspective--that it would come across as overwrought and unseemly. But Nora Krug seems to write from a very genuine and authentic place, and that comes across on every page. This is a personal journey, and thus satisfying. She does not seek to answer for the entire country's guilt.
