Nora Krug grew up as a second-generation German after the end of the Second World War, struggling with a profound ambivalence towards her country's recent past. Travelling as a teenager, her accent alone evoked raw emotions in the people she met, an anger she understood, and shared.
Seventeen years after leaving Germany for the US, Nora Krug decided she couldn't know who she was without confronting where she'd come from. In Heimat, she documents her journey investigating the lives of her family members under the Nazi regime, visually charting her way back to a country still tainted by war. Beautifully illustrated and lyrically told,Heimatis a powerful meditation on the search for cultural identity, and the meaning of history and home.

Recenzii
Krug's
new
visual
memoir
is
a
mazy
and
ingenious
reckoning
with
the
past
.
.
.
She
is
a
tenacious
investigator,
ferreting
out
stories
from
the
wispiest
hints
-
a
rumor
or
a
mysterious
photograph.
Extraordinary . . . The curious appeal of Krug's graphic memoir is that it never fully loses itself in the act of storytelling but constantly stops to turn over and reassess the means at its disposal.
Remarkable
Bracing honesty ... the informal feel and arresting candor of a diary
One of the greatest books of the year.
As Krug wrestles on the page with the evasions and hard truths she encounters, and uses her illustrations to imagine difficult historical scenarios, she distils pain, hurt, confusion, empathy and ultimately peace into a powerful visual narrative.
A spectacular debut . . . enormously clever
A highly original and powerful graphic novel that works on many levels...an unflinching examination of what we mean when we think of identity, of history and home. The result is a book that is as informative as a history and as touching as a novel.
[Krug] is a tenacious investigator, ferreting out stories from the wispiest hints - a rumor or a mysterious photograph. . . . What Krug pursues is a better quality of guilt, a way of confronting the past without paralysis.
I was hugely taken by Nora Krug'sHeimat, a beautifully produced and thoughtful piece of family history by a second generation German immigrant to the US.
Krug probes her family's actions in Nazi Germany, conducting interviews and roaming archives and flea markets. She confronts past and present in a book that's been praised for its invention and bravery.
An amazing look into the erasure of her grandparents generation and their involvement in Nazi Germany . . . the reader really feels Krug's fear and the tension that builds as she must will herself to peel back the layers of history, and unearth a truth that she might not be ready for.
Heimatisan astoundingly honest bookthat conducts a devastating - and irresistible - investigation into one family's struggle with the forces of history.I could not stop reading it and when I was done I could not stop thinking about it.By going so deeply into her family's history,Krug has in some ways written about us all
A page-turning scrapbook/collage of memory, meaning and accountability, Ms. Krug draws the reader through her family history with the directness of imagery, handwriting and, ultimately, a disquieting direness that has echoes in our American life, right now.Heimatis valuable, readable and, needless to say, highly recommended
Heimatis acompelling and beautifully craftedgraphic memoir. Holding this book, and leafing through its pages, rich with photographs, handwritten letters and exquisite drawings,you feel as if if the past is reaching out and grabbing you. It is an exploration of legacy and memory, the things we inherit, the stories we pass on and the strange power the past can hold over us.I loved it
Nora Krug created something completely new by inventing a new medium. (...) And with every new form of visual representation she uses, she is able to gain a new perspective on herself and on her history.
Nora Krug has createda beautiful visual memoirof a horrific time in history. A time that torments us to this day.Asking questions and searching for the truth, she will not turn away from the legacy of her family and her country. She asks the question of how any of us survive our family history. Ultimately, the only course is not to veil the answers
To belong to a place is not to be able to choose what it takes from you. But we can choose what we take from it. Nora Krug takes from her German homeland, and then gives to us, a sense of what it is like to be German today, anda guide to how a reckoning with the past can begin
As the Jewish heir of grandparents who themselves had to flee the upsurge of fascism in their German homelands,I found granddaughter NoraKrug's heartrending investigation of her own family's painstakingly occluded history through those years especially moving. But as an American living through these, our very own years of a seemingly inexorable drift into one's still not quite sure what, I found Krug'sachingly realizedgraphic memoir downright unsettling, for what will our own grandchildren one day make of us and our own everyday compromises and failures to attend?
Nora Krug's bookHeimatisa heart-wrenching, suspenseful and fascinating odysseythat straddles, and seeks to uncover, an uncharted, inaccessible, unfathomable past. It isa kaleidoscope of interrupted lives, leading inexorably to its ultimate conclusion.I couldn't stop reading it
