We have been discussing the experience and the process with people we met on our journey. What is the story we are trying to tell? Is it about Debora Vogel as an intellectual, a writer, a feminist, a Gertrude Stein of the inter-war Lviv? Is it about that fascinating era of the avant-garde thought and art? And so the narrative started to build up – it’s like Debora Vogel herself took us on a journey around the places she lived, walked, wrote about and introduced us to people who survived the war and went on living to tell their stories, or were born long after and found an interest in languages and cultures of their ancestors, the past and present of this area. And not only in Lviv and Burshtyn, but also in Kiev and Moscow.
