The artist Nora Krug was born decades after Nazi rule, but, growing up in Karlsruhe, Germany, she felt yoked to the sins of the Holocaust. This wasn’t just because the war was studied closely at school. There were shadows closer to home. Her grandparents had lived through the war, but never discussed it; her uncle had been a teen-age S.S. soldier when he died, in Italy. Krug has now lived abroad for almost two decades, in the U.S. and the U.K., and in the past few years she’s compiled drawings, photographs, and writing to make sense of her family’s past and her own German identity.

The resulting work, “Belonging” (Scribner), which will be published in the fall, has the informal feel and arresting candor of a diary. I recently talked to Krug about the process of mining her family’s communal memory, and what she has learned in her time away from Germany.
