Title

Donetsk - Testimony 28

Description

A young woman from Donetsk describes her flight in English, which she does not speak natively but finds necessary. Her lucid but emotionally fragmented text portrays the difficulty to testify while relocated. Her speech is reminiscent of Holocaust survivors who used new languages to express their grief over unimaginable loss.
