“Germany’s renowned literary critic, Marcel Reich-Ranicki, once said that he considered German literature to be his homeland. Thanks to the noble mission of your Fund, I am convinced that more and more people from different corners of the globe, representing diverse nationalities, will find a haven in Ukrainian literature. But for that to happen, Ukrainian literature must be supported, nurtured, and its value never taken for granted.”
