At the Museo di Roma in Trastevere an exhibition dedicated to Nora Krug's graphic novel Heimat

After a first stop in Bologna as part of the BilBOlbul International Comics Festival, the exhibition dedicated to Heimat, Nora Krug ’s graphic novel published by Einaudi in 2019, arrives at the Museo di Roma in Trastevere from March 20 to May 3.

The book tells the story of a young woman who, after 20 years of living in the United States, returns to her native Germany to reconstruct her family’s history and understand the role it played during Nazism. Through memorabilia, documents, photos and testimonies, Krug composes a visual encyclopedia that draws a portrait of his family and at once that of an entire nation, and reflects on the imprints World War II left on future generations.

In addition to the original plates from the book, described by international critics as one of the most important of its kind in recent years, the exhibition offers an opportunity to see old family photo albums, postcards, handwritten letters, photographs purchased at antique markets, pins, toys, illustrated books of children’s stories from the German tradition, a manual on German culture that was distributed to Allied troops during the war, photographs of landscapes and natural vistas, medical records of some patients of a German asylum: private objects and memories that reconstruct the identity of a nation.
