Her extraordinary quest, spanning continents and generations, pieces together her family’s troubling story and reflects on what it means to be a German of her generation. This highly inventive visual memoir-equal parts graphic novel, family scrapbook, and investigative narrative – returns Nora to her hometown, where she visits archives, conducts research, and interviews family members, uncovering in the process the stories of her maternal grandfather, a driving teacher in Karlsruhe during the war, and her father’s brother Franz-Karl, who died as a teenage SS soldier in Italy. Join us as Maiken Scott of WHYY-FM's The Pulse interviews fellow Karlsruhe native Nora Krug about her book Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home.
