Nora Krug is a German-American author of illustrated non-fiction books on the subjects of history, war, and memory. Her graphic memoir, “Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home,” (winner of the 2018 National Book Critics Circle Award, among others) confronts WWII and Krug’s own German family history under the Nazi regime; her illustrated adaptation of Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny” was published in 2021; and last year, she published “Diaries of War,” a work of graphic journalism on Russia’s renewed invasion into Ukraine.

Currently Krug is a fellow at the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale, where she is exploring narratives on revenge and war. Her talk at Yale’s German Department this upcoming Tuesday (April 22) will be about her visual narrative work, at the intersection of art, history, politics, journalism and writing.
