HEIMAT by Paul Marzell


★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review. 

 As a descendent of German immigrants over several generations, this is especially interesting. The view of those on the ground makes for good and terrible stories. Hardly anyone went back to Europe if they made it to Canada or the USA or Brazil. But the homeland or Heimat never leaves you, no matter what generation you're in.

This was an interesting look at my past and how history is told and retold by those who experience it. Creative non-fiction, probably.

Would be especially interesting reading for those who went through WWII or are listening to stories from Grandma and Grandpa about those days, whether they were in Germany, the rest of Europe, or in the USA.
