Page 2 - German Reckons News Today

Hi, I’m Valerie a Radio Reader from Topeka and I just finished reading Belonging: a German Reckons with History and Home by Nora Krug. Belonging is part of this season’s theme Graphic Novels– Worth a Thousand Words.

Hello, Radio Readers; this is Kim Perez, and I am coming to you from Hays with a Book Byte for HPPR. I am here to discuss Nora Krug’s 2018 graphic novel, “Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home.” This book is about Krug’s journey to come to terms with the fact that she is German and the guilt that she feels because her family witnessed some of the atrocities leading up to the Second World War and the Holocaust.

Hello, Radio Readers! Miriam Scott here. I was born in a small town called Mechernich in western Germany in September of 1979. Those of you who are “nearest town people” would recognize my home area as near Cologne, which is about 1.5 hours from Mechernich. My parents owned a restaurant/hotel/ bowling alley/movie theatre -- yes, all in one weirdly shaped building.
