Title
Zhytomyr - Testimony 235
Description
This testimony reads like a silent manifesto. The speaker's assertion of Ukrainian language in the face of cultural loss serves as a kind of resistance. His purposeful choice recalls the historical decision to write in Yiddish or Hebrew following the Holocaust. The narrator uses a methodical, even ritualistic tone, as if recovering language is an act of defiance against erasure. His remarks remind us that preserving one's linguistic heritage is a political act during times of war.
