In \u003cem\u003eMy War\u003c\/em\u003e, Tiburce Oger recounts the moment his maternal grandfather receives the Legion of Honor in 2015, an act that triggers the return of a long-hidden past. From that starting point, the author reconstructs the memories of a man who preferred mystery over revealing the horrors he experienced. A moving graphic novel that investigates the transmission of trauma and the need to understand the wounds of yesterday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story begins on May 8, 2015, when the author’s maternal grandfather receives the distinction of Knight of the Legion of Honor. This official recognition acts as an emotional trigger that breaks decades of voluntary silence. Throughout his life, the grandfather had hidden his terrible past under a veil of mystery, refusing to share his experiences with his grandson. Now, the repressed memory emerges with force, forcing the protagonist to confront the ghosts of the war that his grandfather carried with him. The work moves between the present of the ceremony and the fragments of a past that rises to the surface, offering a reflection on how personal history intertwines with the great conflicts of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical memory and the generational transmission of war trauma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSilence as a protective mechanism against the violence of war.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between grandfather and grandson, and the belated discovery of family identity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe weight of official recognition as a catalyst for repressed memories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWar from an intimate and human perspective, removed from epic tropes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis graphic novel is aimed at readers interested in war stories from a personal and emotional approach, as well as those looking for works that address historical memory and the psychological aftermath of conflicts.
