Yet Nora knew little about her own family’s involvement in the war: though all four grandparents lived through the war, they never spoke of it. For Nora, the simple fact of her German citizenship bound her to the Holocaust and its unspeakable atrocities and left her without a sense of cultural belonging.
Nora Krug was born decades after the fall of the Nazi regime, but the Second World War cast a long shadow throughout her childhood and youth in the city of Karlsruhe, Germany. Deutsches Haus at NYU and the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU present a reading by the author Nora Krug from her recent graphic memoir Belonging followed by a conversation between her and the writer and editor Nicole Rudick.
