Yet she knew little about her own family’s involvement though all four grandparents lived through the war, they never spoke of it.Īfter twelve years in the US, Krug realizes that living abroad has only intensified her need to ask the questions she didn’t dare to as a child. Nora Krug was born decades after the fall of the Nazi regime, but the Second World War cast a long shadow over her childhood and youth in the city of Karlsruhe, Germany. As a second generation German-American whose grandmother lived in Germany during WWII, I related to the premise of this book a great deal, but needed to be in the right mindset to read it. I’ve had the advance reader copy of this book for longer than I’d like to admit, and just recently got around to reading it. First published in German as Heimat: Ein Deutsches Familienalbum
