‘This is the thing we must remember: we are all born as refugees’

Poem Marieke Lucas Rijneveld translated in five languages

15 March 2022

The Dutch Foundation for Literature stands for free expression of speech and the peaceful exchange of ideas. Partly for this reason, we had the poem ‘Een krijgzuchtige tijd’ by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld translated into Ukrainian, Russian, German, French and English.

The translations were made by Michele Hutchison (English), Jaroslav Dovhopolyy (Ukrainian), Anna Sidorova (Russian), Ruth Löbner (German), and Daniel Cunin (French).
