Born in Hungary during World War II, as a small child Miriam Katin escaped the Holocaust with her mother. She documented that story in her book We Are On Our Own, which returns to print in a new edition from Drawn and Quarterly this year. In Letting It Go, she chronicled a return to Germany and a reckoning with past events. Nora Krug’s graphic memoir Belonging confronted her German family’s connection to the rise of Nazism, and her most recent book is an illustrated edition of On Tyranny, historian Timothy Snyder’s series of historically-informed strategies for confronting rising authoritarianism today. They will discuss these works and more in a conversation moderated by Marymount Manhattan College Associate Professor Tahneer Oksman (How Come Boys Get to Keep Their Noses?).
