Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home
by Nora Krug
A beautiful and completely unique look at what it means to be a member of a nation, a family, a history. Layered personal recollections, using both illustrations and real scrapbooks and photos, moving back and forth between now and Germany in the first half of the 20th century. An examination of collective guilt and the unknowableness of the past, the lingering effects of war and genocide. If you've ever wondered how Germany people feel about their country today or what regular German people were doing during WWII, this book is extremely enlightening and moving. I was on the verge of tears several times. Artwork is incredible.
