During her residency, Larysa will work on the Ukrainian translation, editorial processing, and an introductory essay for Zeszyt z wierszami z Auschwitz (Notebook with Poems from Auschwitz) – a handwritten notebook containing poems composed by prisoners at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

The project aims to make this unique historical document accessible to Ukrainian readers and to introduce it into Ukraine’s cultural and academic discourse.
