“I grew up in a German-Ukrainian family and if I needed to name a woman who influenced me in my childhood then it would be my Ukrainian grandma Nadja - a holocaust survivor and a woman of strong will. It was her who helped me become bilingual from birth and showed how lack of appropriate education can limit people’s life experiences”.
