*WINNER of the The National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography* The German bestseller—a powerful and deeply affecting graphic memoir that explores identity, guilt and the meaning of home. 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. Beautifully illustrated and lyrically told, Heimat is a powerful meditation on the search for cultural identity, and the meaning of history and home.
