Hi Stef, I enjoyed your article and also your gracious replies to the comments! My grandparents were Slovaks, so I'm a bit sensitive about my ancestral lands getting stomped on by neighboring powers. I like reading about history (e.g., "The Silk Roads") and languages (e.g., "Empire of the Word"). May I bring to your attention the Sixsters? They're a Ukrainian teenage all-girl rock band who are all refugees from the war, now living in Germany. They're extremely talented and good-hearted, often fund-raising for Ukraine war victims, especially children. You might find them, their story and their music quite heartwarming. Thank you!
