Germans, even a few generations after the horrible atrocities of World War II, find themselves somehow painted with history’s brush. Like many, she’s faced with the guilt that comes from the “ sins of the fathers”. Norah Krug was born and raised in Germany, and then moved to the United States. Her own.īelonging: A German Reckons with History and Home Order Belonging in English or German HERE You get so easily pulled in, because it’s the story of a FAMILY. Reading Belonging is like flipping though a family album with a friend. It’s loaded with photos and drawings, there are cartoons, and all the text is “handwritten”. The book is put together as a sort of scrap book. (I tore through the book in 2 afternoons.) “ Belonging, A German Reckons with History and Home” is not your standard Autobiography. From the first section, the book pulled me in because it was so relatable. Belonging by Norah Krug is one of those books.
Every now and then a book comes along, and my first reaction is… “ I wish I had written this”.
