Heimat: A German Family Album | 
Recuerdo estar haciendo cola en un confesionario, tratando desesperada de rememorar algún hecho desencadenante de la culpa suficiente para confesarlo.

La historia me enseñó que no hay que sentir pena de una misma cuando eres responsable de tu propia ruina.
pickLoved this book. I learnt a lot. First thing was that a graphic novel can take many forms. I‘ve stayed away because I thought they were all set out like comics and I find that format hard to follow. I learnt a lot about the German experience of the war from the research this young woman did into her family. Her parents were born after the war so she is next generation. Makes for a very different read.

pickNora Krugg is Associate Professor in illustration at the Parsons School of Design in New York and in this moving and beautifully illustrated graphic memoir (which mixes Krugg‘s drawings with photographs), she examines who she is as a German-American and comes to terms with her attitude to Germany‘s recent history by seeking to learn more about the lives of her grandparents under Nazi rule and the role they played in the regime.
