Podcast appearances and mentions of Nora Krug

Vandaag bespreken we het boek Over tirannie van Timonthy Snyder met illustraties van Nora Krug. Ondertitel: Twintig lessen uit de twintigste eeuw Timothy Snyder schreef ook het boek Over vrijheid dat we binnenkort bespreken.  https://timothysnyder.org/  Timothy David Snyder (18 augustus 1969) is een Amerikaans hoogleraar in de geschiedenis. Hij is gespecialiseerd in de Holocaust en Oost-Europa. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Snyder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Snyder  Nora Krug is een auteur en illustator (wiki). Snyder's ouders zijn Quakers. Schnyder is professor aan Yale. He is currently (February 2025) on leave from his position at Yale University and will teach at the Munk School in the 2025–26 academic year. Snyder speaks five European languages and reads ten. Snyder has stressed that knowing other languages is very important for his field, saying "If you don't know Russian, you don't really know what you're missing." Bekend van boeken: Bloedlanden. Europa tussen Hitler en Stalin (2011), The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America (2019) en On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century (2017) - Nederlandse vertaling 2024 Over Tirannie: a short book about how to prevent a democracy from becoming a tyranny, with a focus on modern United States politics and on what he called "America's turn towards authoritarianism". Het onder techmiljardairs populaire libertarisme dat nu in de VS aan de macht komt, is volgens Snyder een wegbereider voor fascisme. “Het afschaffen van de overheid leidt tot chaos en dan accepteren de burgers een sterke man die zegt dat hij orde op zaken gaat stellen en de democratie opzij schuift.” Om dat tegen te gaan is het niet voldoende er tegen te protesteren. “Rechtse politici hebben het steeds over vrijheid, de andere kant heeft daardoor de neiging het onderwerp te laten liggen en zich meer te richten op gelijkheid, solidariteit en rechtvaardigheid. Terwijl vrijheid je de kans geeft een toekomst voor te stellen en daar in te geloven. Kritiek hebben is gemakkelijk. Je hoeft dan jezelf niet bloot te geven. Dat doe je wel als je laat zien waar je voor bent.” Alleen maar kritiek leveren leidt er toe dat mensen steeds op zoek gaan naar wat er mis is en daarmee ook zelf niet verder komen. “Links doet dat bij voorkeur ook nog onderling, omdat ze merken dat ze met kritiek op elkaar meer aandacht krijgen dan met het bekritiseren van rechts. Altijd op zoek naar fouten, al is het maar een enkel dingetje, om personen en betogen te kunnen afwijzen. Het is destructief. Je moet je meer richten op een betere toekomst. Op ideeën, concepten en hoe die te realiseren.” Wat een bijzonder boek. Duidelijke lessen uit de geschiedenis met een directe koppeling naar het nu. Snyder is historicus met een specialisatie in de holocaust en Oost-Europa. Het boek gaat over hoe tirannie (en fascisme) kan opkomen en wat je er tegen kunt doen. De parallelen met wat er gaande is in de VS en ook in verschillende Europese landen zijn beangstigend. De vormgeving is bijzonde en verfrissend. De teksten zijn kort en helder. De 20 lessen: Gehoorzaam niet bij voorbaat Verdedig maaatschappelijke instellingen Voorkom een éénpartijstaat Neem verantwoordelijkheid voor het aanzien van de wereld Bewaak de beroepsethiek Pas of voor paramilitairen Blijf nadenken als je een wapen moet dragen Wees het eerste schaap over de dam Koester onze taal Geloof in de waarheid Onderzoek alles Maak ookcontact en ga in gesprek Bedrijf politiek fysiek Zorg voor een prive leven Geef aan goede doelen Leer van mensen in andere landen Let op gevaarlijke woorden Blijf kalm als het ondenkbare gebeurt. Wees vaderlandslievend Wees zo moedig als je maar zijn kunt De gescheidenis herhaalt zich niet, maar we kunnen er wel van leren. Aristoteles en Plato en Founding Fathers in het Vooraf. 1 Gehoorzaam niet bij voorbaat

Yes, I know what's happening today. Frankly, the less said about the inauguration, the better. So today, we'll hear President Biden's farewell address which I never got to last week. Maybe. We may hear some words of wisdom and warnings from Timothy Snyder ("On Tyranny"). Then we'll check in with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com. His Saturday post detailed the accomplishments of the Biden/Harris administration -- a good reference to hold on to as we move forward and try to navigate the next four years. I promised you I'd post this here. Timothy Snyder gave us a gift that I'll now share with you. You may want to refer back to this a lot over the next four years: Twenty Lessons On Tyranny Timothy Snyder Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of "our institutions" unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about -- a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union -- and take its side. Beware the one-party state. The parties that remade states and suppressed rivals were not omnipotent from the start. They exploited a historic moment to make political life impossible for their opponents. So support the multiple-party system and defend the rules of democratic elections. Vote in local and state elections while you can. Consider running for office. Take responsibility for the face of the world. The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and the other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor. Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come. Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, may God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no. Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow. Be kind to our language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights. Investigate. Figure things out for yourself. Spend more time with long articles. Subsidize investigative journalism by subscribing to print media. Realize that some of what is on the internet is there to harm you. Learn about sites that investigate propaganda campaigns (some of which come from abroad). Take responsibility for what you communicate with others. Make eye contact and small talk. This is not just polite. It is part of being a citizen and a responsible member of society. It is also a way to stay in touch with your surroundings, break down social barriers, and understand whom you should and should not trust. If we enter a culture of denunciation, you will want to know the psychological landscape of your daily life. Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them. Establish a private life. Nastier rulers will use what they know about you to push you around. Scrub your computer of malware on a regular basis. Remember that email is skywriting. Consider using alternative forms of the internet, or simply using it less. Have personal exchanges in person. For the same reason, resolve any legal trouble. Tyrants seek the hook on which to hang you. Try not to have hooks. Contribute to good causes. Be active in organizations, political or not, that express your own view of life. Pick a charity or two and set up autopay. Then you will have made a free choice that supports civil society and helps others to do good. Learn from peers in other countries. Keep up your friendships abroad, or make new friends in other countries. The present difficulties in the United States are an element of a larger trend. And no country is going to find a solution by itself. Make sure you and your family have passports. Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to use of the words "extremism" and "terrorism." Be alive to the fatal notions of "emergency" and "exception." Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of opposition parties, the suspension of freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Do not fall for it. Be a patriot. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come. They will need it. Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny. These lessons are the openings of the twenty chapters of my little 2017 book On Tyranny, which has just been lightly edited since in successive printings to account for the Big Lie, the coup attempt, the war in Ukraine, and the risks we face in 2024. The lessons remain the same. On Tyranny has also been published in a beautiful graphic edition, illustrated by Nora Krug. For my positive ideas about liberty, see my new book, On Freedom.

Review of:  On Tyranny (Graphic Edition): Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century, by Timothy Snyder, Illustrated by Nora Krug Reviewed by Stan Prager, Regarp Book Blog

Wegmann, Ute www.deutschlandfunk.de, Büchermarkt

Nora Krug ist eine Illustratorin, die keine Angst davor hat, dahin zu gehen, wo es weh tut. In ihren Büchern geht es um Krieg und Gewalt, um Trauma und Schuld – und auch um die Schuldfrage der eigenen Verwandten zur Zeit des Holocausts. Felix hat Nora für Wunderbar Together in ihrem Haus in Brooklyn besucht, wo sie mit ihrem Mann, ihrer Tochter und ihrem greisen Kater Rusty lebt und arbeitet. Für Felix ein Haus des Schaffens und Kreierens, voller Bücher, Sammlerstücke und Kunstwerke. Nora formuliert es etwas lapidarer: „Es ist ein Haus, das ein bisschen überquillt.”

Als am 24. Februar 2022 der Großangriff auf die Ukraine begann, hat Nora Krug Kontakt aufgenommen zu zwei Menschen: einer ukrainischen Journalistin aus Kiew und einem russischen Künstler aus St. Petersburg. Ein Jahr lang begleitet sie die beiden mit Texten und Illustrationen – jetzt erschienen als "Im Krieg. Zwei illustrierte Tagebücher aus Kiew und St. Petersburg". Anne-Dore hat Nora Krug am Stand des Penguin Verlags auf der Leipziger Buchmesse getroffen und mit ihr gesprochen: über visuellen Journalismus, Illustrieren und Beleuchten, über Mitläufertum und Graubereiche und kollektive Schuld – und warum es sie immer wieder beschäftigt, wie einzelne Menschen zum Lauf der Geschichte beitragen. Das Buch: Nora Krug: "Im Krieg, Zwei illustrierte Tagebücher aus Kiew und St. Petersburg", übersetzt von Alexander Weber, Penguin Verlag, 128 Seiten, 28 Euro. Die Autorin/ Illustratorin: Nora Krug wurde 1977 in Karlsruhe geboren und lebt seit über zwanzig Jahren in New York, wo sie als Professorin für Illstration lehrt. Ihr Buch "Heimat. Ein deutsches Familienalbum" wurde u.a. für dem National Book Critics Award ausgezeichnet und in Deutschland zur Schullektüre ernannt. Zuletzt erhielt sie den Gerti Spieß Preis für literarische Arbeiten zu gesellschaftspolitischen Themen.

Die Illustratorin Nora Krug zeigt mit ihrem Buch „Im Krieg. Zwei illustrierte Tagebücher aus Kiew und St. Petersburg“, was es heißt, im Krieg zu leben. Sie hat eine ukrainische Journalistin und einen russischen Künstler ein Jahr lang begleitet. >> Artikel zum Nachlesen: https://detektor.fm/gesellschaft/leipziger-buchmesse-nora-krug-ueber-den-krieg-in-der-ukraine

"Europa ist Heimat für mich", sagt die vielfach preisgekrönte Illustratorin Nora Krug, die seit über 20 Jahren in New York lebt. Sorge bereitet ihr der wachsende Populismus bei schwindender Einigkeit. "Europa als liberales Paradies zu sehen, wäre naiv. Aber es ist die wichtigste demokratische Alternative. Dieses demokratische Europa müssen wir immer wieder verteidigen, bewahren, neu erkämpfen." Von Nora Krug.

Die Graphik Novel "Heimat" hat Nora Krug zu einem internationalen Star in der Buchszene gemacht. Die Literaturagenten sprechen mit der in New York lebenden Illustratorin und Autorin über ihr neues Projekt "Im Krieg. Zwei illustrierte Tagebücher aus Kiew und St. Petersburg", das den Alltag einer Ukrainerin und eines Russen im ersten Jahr des Krieges zeigt. Dazu u.a.: eine Empfehlung russischer Literatur von Haruki Murakami-Übersetzerin Ursula Graefe und ein neuer Gedichtband des Monats – von der scharfzüngigsten und brilliantesten Autorin der 1920er Jahre: Dorothy Parker.

Eine Journalistin in Kiew, ein Künstler in St. Petersburg. Die renommierte Illustratorin Nora Krug hat die beiden gebeten, Tagebuch über das Kriegsgeschehen zu führen. Im Interview spricht Krug über die Graphic Novel, die sie damit verfasst hat. Von WDR 5.

Nora Krug hat mit "Im Krieg" ein Buch geschaffen, das sehr berührt. Ein Jahr hat sie sich mit einer ukrainischen Journalistin und einem russischem Künstler ausgetauscht. Von Denis Scheck.

Seit mehr als 20 Jahren lebt die Illustratorin Nora Krug in New York und hat sich mit ihren Arbeiten zu zeitgeschichtlichen Themen international einen Namen gemacht. In dem neuen Band „Im Krieg“ der gebürtigen Karlsruherin berichten zwei Zeitzeugen aus Kiew und St. Petersburg von ihren Alltagserfahrungen, die auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise von existentieller Not, von Verlust und Bedrohung geprägt sind. Ihre Emotionen hat Nora Krug mit sehr einfühlsamen, starken Illustrationen zum Ausdruck gebracht.

„Heimat“ heißt die Graphic Novel, in der sich Nora Krug mit der NS-Geschichte ihrer Familie beschäftigt. Sie ging nach dem Studium nach New York, heiratete in eine jüdische Familie und lebt seit 20 Jahren in den USA. Zum zweiten Jahrestag des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine erscheint die deutsche Ausgabe von „Im Krieg: Zwei illustrierte Tagebücher aus Kiew und St. Petersburg“. Dafür begleitete sie ein Jahr lang eine ukrainische Journalistin und einen russischen Künstler. Beide fragte sie einmal wöchentlich, was dieser Krieg für sie bedeutet. Nora Krug wuchs in Karlsruhe auf.

"Europa ist so reichhaltig an kulinarischen Möglichkeiten", schwärmt Léa Linster, die als bislang einzige Frau den berühmten Kochwettbewerb Bocuse d'Or gewonnen hat. Die Luxemburgische Spitzenköchin plädiert dafür, gerade in Krisenzeiten die Esskultur hochzuhalten und europäisch-regionale Spezialitäten konsequent zu schützen: "Wenn wir wissen, wo die Wurzeln sind, ist es auch leichter, wieder ins Lot zu kommen." Von Léa Linster.

Literaturredakteurin Katrin Schumacher empfiehlt in dieser Woche: den Roman "Letzte Worte vom Montmartre" von Qiu Miaojin, Diane Olivers Short Storys "Nachbarn" und das Buch "Im Krieg" von Nora Krug.

Der russische Überfall auf die Ukraine jährt sich in diesen Tagen zum zweiten Mal. Die deutsch-amerikanische Autorin und Illustratorin Nora Krug hat eine ukrainische Journalistin und einen russischen Künstler im ersten Kriegsjahr jede Woche nach ihren Erlebnissen und Gedanken befragt und daraus ein illustriertes Tagebuch gemacht: „Im Krieg“. Dagmar Fulle spricht mit ihr darüber, warum es zu kurz greift, die Betroffenen in Kategorien wie „Täter“ und „Opfer“ einzuteilen, über die Dinge, die die Ukrainerin und der Russe am meisten vermissen und über die Frage nach Gehen oder Bleiben. Außerdem: „Marseille 1940“ - die nahezu unbekannte Geschichte des jungen New Yorker Journalisten Varian Fry, der mit seinem Netzwerk rund 2000 Menschen im damals von Deutschland besetzten Frankreich das Leben rettete, darunter Hannah Arendt, Lion Feuchtwanger, Max Ernst, Marc Chagall oder Anna Seghers. Der Journalist und Autor Uwe Wittstock erzählt sie in seinem neuen Buch. Bild: © Nora Krug/Penguin Verlag

Ein Jahr lang hat sich die Illustratorin und Bestseller-Autorin Nora Krug vom Krieg in der Ukraine erzählen lassen. Einmal in der Woche haben eine Journalistin aus Kiew und ein Künstler aus St. Petersburg ihre Alltagserlebnisse durchgegeben: wie der Krieg ihr Leben verändert, was die Bedrohung mit ihnen und ihrer Familie macht. Ihre Berichte hat Nora Krug, die aus Karlsruhe stammt, aber seit vielen Jahren in New York lebt, in dem neuen Band „Im Krieg. Zwei illustrierte Tagebücher aus Kiew und St. Petersburg“ festgehalten.

Demnächst jährt sich der Beginn des russischen Angriffskrieges auf die Ukraine zum zweiten Mal. Noch immer attackiert Russland das Nachbarland, noch immer verteidigt die Ukraine die Freiheit, die eigene und die der westlichen Welt. Die in New York lebende Zeichnerin Nora Krug erzählt auf eine besondere Weise von diesem Krieg. Sie lässt zwei Menschen jeweils in einem illustrierten Tagebuch zu Wort kommen: eine Journalistin aus der Ukraine und einen Künstler aus Russland. Viele Seiten wurden in der Los Angeles Times veröffentlicht, ausgewählte Kapitel auch in einigen großen europäischen Zeitungen. Jetzt gibt es sie als Buch, mit dem Titel "Im Krieg".

In 2019, Eleanor Wachtel spoke to German-American graphic artist Nora Krug about her award-winning illustrated memoir, Belonging. It's a powerful and compassionate investigation into Krug's family's involvement in the Second World War and the impact of history on successive generations. Her new book, Diaries of War: Two Visual Accounts from Ukraine and Russia, is a real-time, personal record from a Ukrainian journalist and an anti-war Russian artist, which Krug solicited and then illustrated. *This interview deals with difficult subjects including the Holocaust and antisemitism. It originally aired on March 10, 2019.

EPISODE 1824: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Nora Krug, author of DIARIES OF WAR, about the contrasting realities of a Ukrainian journalist and a Russian artist in the first year of the Russian invasionNora Krug is a German-American author and illustrator whose drawings and visual narratives have appeared in newspapers, magazines and anthologies internationally. Her illustrations have been recognized with gold and silver medals by the Society of Illustrators and the NY Art Directors Club. Krug is a recipient of fellowships from Fulbright, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Maurice Sendak Foundation, and others. Her books are included in the Library of Congress and the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University. Krug was named Moira Gemmill Illustrator of the Year and 2019 Book Illustration Prize Winner by the Victoria and Albert Museum. Her visual memoir Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home (Scribner, 2018, foreign edition title Heimat), about WWII and her own German family history, was chosen as a best book of the year by the New York Times, The Guardian, NPR, Kirkus Review, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Boston Globe. It was the winner of the 2018 National Book Critics Circle Award, the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize, the Art Directors Club gold cube and discipline winner cube, the Society of Illustrators silver medal, and the British Book Design and Production Award, among others. Her collaboration with historian Timothy Snyder, a graphic edition of On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century (Ten Speed Press, 2021), was named a Best Graphic Novel of 2021 by the New York Times, a New York Times Editor's Choice, one of Germany's Most Beautiful Books of 2022 and won a gold medal from the Society of Illustrators. Diaries of War, her Pulitzer Prize-nominated book of graphic journalism that chronicles the contrasting experiences of a Ukrainian journalist and a Russian artist, both grappling with the realities of Russia's renewed invasion of Ukraine in 2022, won the Oversea's Press Club's Best Cartoon Award runner-up citation. Her visual biography, Kamikaze, about a surviving Japanese WWII pilot, was included in Houghton Mifflin's Best American Comics and Best Non-Required Reading, and her animations were shown at the Sundance Film Festival. Krug is Associate Professor of Illustration at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. Prior to her professorship at Parsons, Krug served as a Professor of Illustration at Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel, Germany. She holds a B.A. Honours degree in Performance Design from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, a Diplom in Visual Communications from the University of Arts Berlin, and an M.F.A. in Illustration as a Visual Essay from the School of Visual Arts in New York.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.

The past is present and the present is personal. With her guest, German American author and illustrator Nora Krug, Stefanie Schäfer talks about visualizing Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny: 20 Lessons from the 20th Century," about flowered wallpaper and swastika trees, and about dealing with German Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung as a West German 40-something in this day and age.

Narratives of immigration and identity formation are never fully told, and they change as we mature. In this episode, Stefanie Schäfer talks to author and activist Oksana Marafioti about her Romani-Armenian-Ukrainian background, her personal American success story, as well as her memoir project "All of Us Fragile and Brave." Touching on the "what" and the "how "of identity assemblage, they also turn to a recent example of the immigration-identity narrative, Nora Krug's "Heimat /Belonging" (2018).

The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts presents the exhibition "Nora Krug: Belonging" featuring art by the noted contemporary illustrator, who has assembled a list of prestigious accolades for her comics and graphic novels. On view through June 19, 2023, this new exhibition will present more than 200 original drawings and paintings by Nora Krug, as well as historical artifacts, letters, photographs, and personal items that inspired the artist's work.The Norman Rockwell Museum's Deputy Director and Chief Curator Stephanie Plunkett and illustrator Nora Krug join us.

Last year when John Duffy, a Canadian political strategist and writer, died at the age of 58, I noticed an outpouring of genuine love, and sadness, on Twitter, along with frequent references to his book Fights of our Lives. It was called one the best ever written on Canadian politics. So I picked up a copy. It's filled with dozens of old photographs, and images of period posters, and flyers, buttons, correspondence, and other fascinating bits and pieces of ephemera and memorabilia: the 'confetti of history' as Walter Benjamin liked to put it, plus it features these great 'diagrams' of game plans, 'playbooks,' that John came up with to explain the strategies and tactics used in what he considered to be the five most consequential elections in Canadian history. It was visually captivating, and a fun informative read, so I decided to feature it on The Biblio File Book Club. But who to engage with?   Several people suggested Justin Trudeau's close friend and advisor, Gerry Butts. After a bit of toing and froing, and my prematurely and, as it turns out, quite erroneously, dismissing him as a typical political bounder, it all came together. Gerry agreed to play ball. We met in person several days ago at the Chateau Laurier hotel in Ottawa.    Gerry is currently Vice Chairman of The Eurasia Group, a risk management firm with offices around the world. We talk here about John Duffy's optimism, about whether or not elections matter; about cynicism, championship debating, Canada's business elite, the PBO's report on income inequality, the urban-rural divide, 1300 Dollarama stores, lifting children out of poverty, the King-Bing Affair, SNC Lavalin, the Manitoba School crisis, Wilfrid Laurier and Justin Trudeau's 'Sunny Ways,' kicking the can down the road; Lament for a Nation, and Mel Hurtig. There's a James Joyce quote. Gerry tells a joke about Franz Kafka on the way out the door, and I recommend that he reads Nora Krug's illustrated edition of On Tyranny.    Plus another thing: we're both convinced that John Duffy's Fights of our Lives (egregiously it's both out of print and published by an American multi-national) should be made into a TV Series as soon as possible.

Longtime Russia watcher Andrew Weiss took an unconventional approach to his new biography, Accidental Czar: The Life and Lies of Vladimir Putin. Teaming up with illustrator Box Brown, Weiss wrote a graphic novel that tells the story of Putin's rise from an impoverished childhood in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) to the undisputed authoritarian ruler of Russia. A big theme of the book is how Putin imagined an idea of himself as a strongman through spy movies and pulp novels that he devoured as a young person. The graphic novel seems a particularly fitting format for exploring Putin, who has successfully cultivated a caricature of himself in the West as a cunning, sophisticated, hyper-masculine leader. But, as Weiss writes, “seeing Putin as he wants us to see him, rather than as he is,” makes it harder to confront the challenge Russia poses to Western interests and security in Europe. Shane Harris talked to Weiss about his own childhood in California and why he was drawn at an early age to studying Russia. Weiss previously served as director for Russian, Ukrainian, and Eurasian Affairs on the National Security Council staff, as a member of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff, and as a policy assistant in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy during the administrations of Presidents Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush. He's now the James Family Chair and vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment, where he oversees research on Russia and Eurasia. Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo.

I first became aware of the graphic edition of Timothy Snyder's book On Tyranny during a visit to the National Socialist Documentation Centre museum in Munich about a year ago (revel in the backstory here). I bought and read a copy of the original edition shortly thereafter. It's a powerful book, full of important, actionable lessons. This past Summer I picked up a copy of Nora Krug's illustrated version of the book. Reading it was revelatory. I simply had to interview her.   So I contacted the person who knows every graphic designer in the world, Steven Heller. He'd just, of course, participated in a presentation with Nora. And yes, was happy to put us in touch.    Listen here as Nora and I go about reviewing the serious thought she put into illustrating On Tyranny, starting with the cover. Topics touched on include: the importance of small talk; the influence of illustrators; shedding light on the human character; origami; painting with blood (okay, paint that looks like blood); little feet; fire and smoke and war; moral questions, smudges, and the traces of history; big dumb hands; depicting fear; snooping around flea markets; salvaging found objects, photo albums and scrapbooks; how illustrations bring  books into different realms, adding new emphases and layers of meaning, contradictory and otherwise; empathy and history; the importance of personal narratives; emotional entry points into war; dissecting history; vigilance, and the responsibility that each of us has to fight against the rise of tyranny.    Photo Credit: Nina Subin

Neskubėk paklusti, gink institucijas, prisiimk atsakomybę už tai, kaip atrodo pasaulis, aukok geriems tikslams, išgirsk pavojingus žodžius – tai tik kelios iš dvidešimties dvidešimtojo amžiaus pamokų, kurias istorikas Timothy Snyderis įvardija kaip būtinas išmokti siekiant apsisaugoti nuo tironijos pavojaus. Ką ši Donaldo Trumpo prezidentavimo metu parašyta knyga, vėliau išleista ir kaip bendras darbas su dailininke Nora Krug, byloja mums šiandien?

Em março, o Clube Rádio Companhia leu a história em quadrinhos “A rosa mais vermelha desabrocha”, de Liv Stromqüist. * Participaram do podcast: Enrico Sera, do departamento de Marketing; Stephanie Roque, editora da Companhia das Letras; Tamiris Busato, assessora de imprensa do Grupo Companhia das Letras e Cecília Marins, quadrinista, ilustradora, jornalista e autora da reportagem em quadrinhos Parque das Luzes, obra vencedora do Prêmio Cásper Líbero. * “A rosa mais vermelha desabrocha” é uma poderosa e necessária reflexão sobre o amor na contemporaneidade. Com muito humor e inteligência, e o título emprestado de um verso da poeta norte-americana Hilda Doolittle, a obra examina as engrenagens do amor nos tempos do capitalismo tardio. A partir de histórias como a de Sócrates, que traiu Alcibíades há mais de dois mil anos, ou a de Teseu, que abandonou a amada Ariadne de uma hora para outra na ilha de Naxos, e com a ajuda de Beyoncé, do filósofo Sören Kierkegaard, dos smurfs, da namorada alucinada de Lorde Byron, de Platão, de Jabba de Star Wars, e de outros especialistas na arte de amar, a artista sueca Liv Strömquist mais uma vez desconstrói mitos e se afirma como uma das quadrinistas mais relevantes da atualidade. * INDICAÇÕES: HQ - "Minha experiência lésbica com a solidão" (Kabi Nagata): https://www.lojanewpop.com.br/minha-experiencia-lesbica-com-a-solidao HQ - "Desaplanar" (Nick Sousanis): https://veneta.com.br/produto/desaplanar/ HQ - "Paciência" (Daniel Clowes): https://grupoautentica.com.br/nemo/quadrinhos/paciencia/1453 HQ - "Três estações" (Cecília Marins): lançamento no final de 2022 HQ - "Heimat" (Nora Krug): https://www.companhiadasletras.com.br/detalhe.php?codigo=13793 Filme - "Medianeras: Buenos Aires na era do amor virtual" Podcast - "Just break up": https://www.justbreakuppod.com/ Pesquisadora - Valeska Zanello: https://www.instagram.com/zanellovaleska/ + https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC54qAezd5IglNA4vtBiJ2Rg * Edição: Paulo Júnior Apresentação: Enrico Sera

Artist, illustrator & author Nora Krug rejoins the show to talk about her work on the new Graphic Edition of Timothy Snyder's ON TYRANNY: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century (Ten Speed Press). We get into how the project originated and how illustrating On Tyranny compelled her to live up to its lessons, her approach to illustrating the book and how a visual experience can create a new reading of it, her use of personal photographs from the Third Reich, and how this project serves as a companion to her award-winning graphic memoir BELONGING. We talk about her concerns about misread propaganda imagery, the assumptions she had to make about readers' visual literacy and what illustrations and design could constitute "hijacking" Snyder's text, the ways photographs can make people accountable, what it means when governments censor photos, and the contrasting perspectives she and Snyder brought to the book: an American facing Europe and a European facing America. We also discuss how the text was updated post-January 6 and which of its lessons are "nice" vs. "critical", the optimism that lies in the midst of the book's dire message, what she & Snyder have learned from each other during their virtual book tour, Nora's realization that she has an artistic mission for the rest of her life, and more!

"The problem is ourselves." Timothy Snyder describes why the challenges of our democracies are not so much political figures like Trump, but ourselves as citizens. Snyder says it's about breaking down social barriers while addressing structural political problems like voter suppression and the manipulation of the electoral college. "A failed coup attempt is a rehearsal for a later coup." Timothy Snyder teaches history at Yale University. His book, "On Tyranny," has been translated into more than 40 languages and sold nearly half a million copies in the U.S. alone. It was published in 2021 by Ten Speed Press in an edition illustrated by Nora Krug.

Family history can be delightful, but it can also be heart-wrenching. Nora Krug was born in Germany decades after the fall of the Nazi regime, but the Second World War cast a long shadow over her childhood and youth. In her award-winning graphic memoir 'Belonging,' she struggles under the weight of catastrophic history and reflects on the responsibility we all have as inheritors of our peoples' pasts.See firesidepod.org for a complete transcript and show notes. Grab a copy of the book at https://amzn.to/3gcsRPq.

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.

Mit 16 ging sie das erste Mal von Zuhause weg. Mittlerweile lebt die Illustratorin Nora Krug seit fast 20 Jahren in New York. Aus der Distanz hat sie ihre Familiengeschichte als Comic aufgezeichnet - und landet dabei auch in Nazi-Deutschland.

La primera vez que se fue de casa tenía 16 años. Entre tanto, la ilustradora Nora Krug vive desde hace dos décadas en Nueva York. Desde la distancia ha plasmado la historia de su familia en un cómic que retrata la Alemania nazi.

Nora Krug racconta la genesi del suo graphic novel Heimat (Einaudi, 2019), un libro-mondo che contiene la storia di una famiglia e insieme quella di una nazione intera, e dipinge un ritratto intimo della Germania al tempo del nazismo. * Questo incontro si è tenuto il 1° dicembre 2019 al MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna durante BilBOlbul Festival internazionale di fumetto. In collaborazione con Goethe-Institut Roma, Istituto di Cultura Germanica Bologna, Giulio Einaudi Editore, Strane Dizioni.

L'illustratrice Nora Krug, autrice di Heimat (Einaudi, 2019) e la documentarista Chiara Sambuchi hanno molte cose in comune: entrambe hanno vissuto per anni all’estero, sperimentando lo spaesamento di una vita lontana dalla propria patria, ed entrambe condividono un modo di raccontare che passa per la ricostruzione della storia e la ricerca archivistica. In questa conversazione, mettono a confronto le loro opere e i diversi linguaggi che usano per narrare: il cinema e il fumetto. * Questo incontro si è tenuto il 30 novembre 2019 all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna, durante BilBOlbul Festival internazionale di fumetto. In collaborazione con Goethe-Institut Roma, Istituto di Cultura Germanica Bologna, Giulio Einaudi Editore, Strane Dizioni, Erasmus Mundus in Culture Letterarie Europee.

Nora Krug in conversazione con Roberto Paci Dalò. Nora Krug è un’autrice e illustratrice tedesco-americana. I suoi lavori, più volte premiati dalla Society of Illustrators, sono apparsi su The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde diplomatique e A Public Space, e in antologie pubblicate da Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Simon and Schuster e Chronicle Books. Krug ha vinto il premio Moira Gemmill Illustrator of the Year e il 2019 Book Illustration Prize del Victoria and Albert Museum. Il suo ultimo graphic novel, Heimat, tradotto in oltre quindici paesi e pubblicato in Italia da Einaudi, è stato accolto come uno dei migliori libri del 2018. Nel 2019 ha vinto il National Book Critics Circle Award per la categoria “autobiografia”, il Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize , l’Art Directors Club Gold Cube and Discipline, il Literaturförderpreis della città di Aalen, l’Evangelischer Buchpreis e il Ludwig-Marum-Preis. I suoi lavori sono stati esposti in tutto il mondo, e alcune delle sue animazioni sono state proiettate al Sundance Film Festival. Krug insegna Illustrazione alla Parsons School of Design di New York.

Nora Krug kommer til verden i 1977. I skolen lærte hun at skamme sig over Tysklands historie, og som voksen lærte hun at skjule sin nationalitet, når hun rejste på ferier i udlandet. På et tidspunkt opdager Krug, at også hendes egen familie har en mørk historie. I Nora Krugs prisvindende og kritikerroste grafiske roman ’Heimat’, der udkommer på dansk i november 2019, går hun på opdagelse i sin egen families historie. Via gamle breve, fotos, loppemarkedfund og private samtaler, kaster hun lys over den skygge, der har præget hendes opvæks: Nazismens skygge, som ingen talte om. Journalist Marc-Christoph Wagner møder Nora Krug til en samtale om, hvad det vil sige at være tysk i dag, hvordan man formidler Holocaust til nye generationer, og hvorfor mindet om den tyske historie er så vigtigt i forsvaret for demokrati og retsstat i dag. Samtalen foregår på engelsk.

On the eve of its New York City debut, illustrator/designer/author Steven Guarnaccia joins the show to talk about his Fatherland exhibition! We get into how he made the leap from 2D to 3D, the moment he realized he was an illustrator and not an Artist, what it was like to come up in a golden age of magazine illustration, the balancing act of professional and personal projects, the strong influence of the Pop Art on his work, the anxiety of the first time he got a color illustration assignment (he's been around a long time), getting his first NYT assignment from Steven Heller, and why Seymour Chwast & Milton Glaser may be the Lennon & McCartney of their field. We also get into his love of letterforms, his ingenious idea for my next podcast/documentary series, the process of learning illustration on the job, how he taps his unconscious drawing to break out of creative ruts, the benefits of a two-artist household (he's married to Nora Krug), his lament for the American culture of specialization, becoming the accidental archivist for Rooster Ties, and our ongoing competition for best-dressed guy at Society of Illustrators events. • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

Sam talks to Nora Krug about her remarkable graphic work Heimat - in which this German born writer and artist discusses how it has felt to grow up in Germany and later the US with the shadow of her homeland's war guilt, how that has issued in art, literature and humour, and about her risky attempt to discover her own family's wartime past. Presented by Sam Leith.

On 9 November 1938 Nazis led attacks on Jewish homes and businesses across Germany. Because of the number of windows that were smashed it would be remembered as the "night of broken glass" or Kristallnacht. Writer and artist Nora Krug has investigated her German family's wartime experiences for her graphic history "Heimat".

German-American author and illustrator Nora Krug talks through the challenging themes found in her new graphic novel ‘Heimat’. We also meet film-maker and novelist Sandi Tan to hear the story behind her new Netflix documentary ‘Shirkers’ and learn the tale of Pike Ward – a British fish merchant who helped shape the history of Iceland – with heritage specialist Katherine Findlay.

"Heimat" ist gleichermaßen Selbstvergewisserung und Ortsbestimmung wie moralischer Kompass. Kein Comic und keine Graphic novel, auch kein Scrapbook oder Bildband, sondern ein kluges, visuell herrlich opulentes Bilderbuch für Erwachsene.

With the brand-new visual memoir Belonging (Scribner), writer/illustrator Nora Krug explores her family's history in World War II and her own struggles with her identity as a German expat in America. We get into the meaning of Heimat and why her questions arose when she was living outside of Germany, the challenges of telling the story without devaluing the Holocaust itself (thanks, Jewish beta-readers, incl. Nora's husband!), the pendulum swing of collective guilt, the failings of German's education system to address the war, and whether certain books should be banned (and what happened the time she tried reading Mein Kampf on the subway). We also get into the process of editing her life and her discoveries into a narrative without eliding the truth, how Belonging/Heimat has been received in Germany, writing it in English, and the detective work that went into making the book. Plus, we talk about her visual storytelling style, teaching art at Parsons, why she doesn't keep a sketchbook (but doesn't tell her students that), and the German stereotypes she does and doesn't live up to (she's getting better at small talk!). • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

On this week's episode of the podcast, Andy and Derek explore the worlds of hardcore cohabitation, biographical brilliance, and wood witches. They begin with Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever, the new collection from Tom Neely and friends (Microcosm Publishing). This follows Neely's original minicomic Henry & Glenn Forever and collects the four-issue miniseries published between 2013 and 2014. For those unfamiliar, this is a situational satire of metal rockers Henry Rollings and Glenn Danzig, working from the premise of their love for one another and placing their relationship in a variety of different sitcom-like scenarios. Tom Neely created the original, and more narratively substantive, stories of Henry and Glenn, but he has many of his artist friends — such as Mark Randolph, Ed Luce, Johnny Ryan, and Noah Van Sciver — contribute short pieces as well. Some stories are better than others, but the Two Guys conclude that the book as a whole is hilariously fun. Next, Derek and Andy turn to Masterful Marks: Cartoonists Who Changed the World, a collection of graphic biographies edited by Monte Beauchamp (Simon and Schuster). In fact, they spend a good chunk of this week's show talking about this book…and there is a lot to discuss. It's composed of sixteen short comics that present the lives of such luminaries as Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Jack Kirby, Winsor McCay, Charles Schulz, Walt Disney, Osamu Tezuka, Chas Addams, Dr. Seuss, and Hergé. These biographies are written and drawn by impressive creators in their own rights, such as Nora Krug, Arnold Roth, Frank Stack, and Denis Kitchen. The guys discuss most of these biographies, but they particularly highlight two of their favorites: Peter Kuper's take on Harvey Kurtzman and Drew Friedman's look at Robert Crumb. In fact, the latter is not so much a biography of the legendary artist as much as it is a story of Friedman's experiences and relationship with Crumb. Much like Kuper's, this is more than a straight-out biography. It's a personal and even self-reflexive narrative. Finally, the Two Guys get all excited about the new series from Scott Snyder and Jock, Wytches (Image Comics). They point out that while this could have easily been a Vertigo title, Snyder is apparently wanting to try his indie chops over at Image with a new ongoing series. And he and Jock have started off impressively! What makes the first issue of Wytches so engaging is its elaborate setup and its emersion in the everyday. Both Andy and Derek mention how the world that Snyder sets up reminds them of their own childhoods and the kind of creepy wooded areas that fueled their own imaginations. They're both on board with this new title, and they hope — they expect — it to be another in Image's growing line of perennials, following the likes of The Walking Dead, Saga, and Manhattan Projects.
