Nora Krug’s graphic novel presents a unique exploration of family history against the backdrop of the tragic events of World War II. The author, born in Germany and relocated to the USA, attempts to make sense of her family’s past, examining the role her relatives played during the Nazi regime. Through a collage of photographs, letters, archival documents, and her own illustrations, Krug creates a poignant narrative about memory, guilt, and national identity. This book is a deep reflection on how a country’s history intertwines with personal destinies—and how subsequent generations bear responsibility for a past they did not choose. “Homeland” addresses the universal themes of searching for roots, reconciling with the past, and understanding what it means to be German after the Holocaust.
