Belonging or "Heimat" in German is a mix of a graphic novel and historical research text. It follows the author researching her German genealogy pre and post Second World War. The guilt of 20th-century fascism and the search for redemption are some of the main themes. Surprisingly, the book is very interesting to read and lighthearted in art style. Therefore, it comes in contrast with the tragic stories that Nora Krug narrates and somehow humanizes them.
