Czernowitzers... Dr. Oxana Matiychuk is a Germanist, a lecturer at the Chair of Foreign Literary History at the University of Czernowitz, a cultural manager and director of the NGO "Zentrum Gedankendach": www.gedankendach.org - and first and foremost a good friend from Czernowitz. Her doctoral thesis "Genesis of the Poetic Text in the Work of Rose Ausländer" was the first study in Ukraine on the life and work of "our" prominent poetess.
I was in touch with her today to see if and what I / we can do to assist the people of Ukraine in this catastrophic situation. Oxana reports as follows: "It is still quiet here. I think we are just later in Putin's plans. [...] Many refugees are now in the city, many want to continue to Romania, but very many stay, all dormitories and other shelters are prepared for them. We have started a fundraising campaign, at the moment we are thinking mainly of refugees who are coming. But I'm sure there will be many more needs." http://gedankendach.de/krieg-in-der-ukraine/ The bank details of the Institute for German Culture and History of Southeast Europe (IKGS) at LMU Munich are: IBAN: DE23701500000907271407 BIC: SSKMDEMMXXX Munich City Savings Bank The IKGS - me too - vouches for the fact that the donations come to the correct address. It will still have to be clarified how the transfer can take place. I am grateful to Oxana that I got an opportunity to make a small contribution, even if it was only a financial one, in spite of all consternation and helplessness. We stand with the People of Ukraine!
