Heimat: A German Family Album by Nora Krug

5.0

What does it mean to be German--especially in a post-WWII context? This is an absolutely beautiful and poignant graphic memoir that combines traditional comic styles with diary-like entries, collages, scans of documents, and lots of pictures. As a German-American, this book made me feel seen in a way I haven't been able to. If I could, I'd make it a mandatory read in every high school English class.
