n* Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award * Silver Medal Society of Illustrators * n * Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Comics Beat, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Kirkus Reviews, and Library Journal n n This ingenious reckoning with the past (The New York Times), by award-winning artist Nora Krug investigates the hidden truths of her familys wartime history in Nazi Germany. n nNora Krug was born decades after the fall of the Nazi regime, but the Second World War cast a long shadow over her childhood and youth in the city of Karlsruhe, Germany. Yet she knew little about her own familys involvement; though all four grandparents lived through the war, they never spoke of it. n n After twelve years in the US, Krug realizes that living abroad has only intensified her need to ask the questions she didnt dare to as a child. Returning to Germany, 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 fathers brother Franz-Karl, who died as a teenage SS soldier. In this extraordinary quest, Krug erases the boundaries between comics, scrapbooking, and collage as she endeavors to make sense of 20th-century history, the Holocaust, her German heritage, and her familys place in it all (The Boston Globe). A highly inventive, thoughtful, engrossing (Minneapolis Star-Tribune) graphic memoir, Belonging packs the power of Alison Bechdels Fun Home and David Smalls Stitches (NPR.org).n
