Leserbrief zum Artikel Ausstellung: Widerständige Frauen
vom 05.09.2018:
Anna Achmatova vergessen
I have only just learned about your exhibition. It is an important means to communicate the stories of women who resisted oppression. However, I see that you have included Marina Tsvetaeva but NOT Anna Akhmatova, whose son was sent to Siberia several times, and who was not published under the Stalinist terror. You might have included Anna Akhmatova and my book Anna Akhmatova: Poet and Prophet that describes Akhmatova's resistance to the regime and her poems like »Requiem« in which she becomes the »voice of her people,« especially women--the mothers, wives, daughters of men who were left alone to fight and try to survive.after their loved ones were taken away--made prisoners or killed.
