In this episode, illustrator and author Nora Krug talks about
notions of belonging, nationalism, and the power of images. In
conversation with our hosts Tom Zoellner and Aida Baghernejad, she
reflects on issues of historical memory and responsibility, and how
they can be tackled in the form of a graphic novel. Krug's graphic
novel "Belonging: A German Reckons With History and Home" was
honored with a 2018 National Book Critics Circle Award. It
investigates her own family's WWII history in image and text.
