Yet she knew little about her own family's involvement; though all four grandparents lived through the war, they never spoke of it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After twelve years in the US, Krug realizes that living abroad has only intensified her need to ask the questions she didn't dare to as a child. Returning to Germany, she visits archives, conducts research, and interviews family members, uncovering in the process the stories of her maternal grandfather, a driving teacher in Karlsruhe during the war, and her father's brother Franz-Karl, who died as a teenage SS soldier. In this extraordinary quest, \"Krug erases the boundaries between comics, scrapbooking, and collage as she endeavors to make sense of 20th-century history, the Holocaust, her German heritage, and her family's place in it all\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e).
