"I would prefer to be away and I would prefer to stay here."

WOLF BIERMANN: "AND WHEN WE CAME TO THE SHORE", 1976

In exile, the refugee Heinrich Heine once dreamed of the "beautiful fatherland" that kissed him and said to him: "I love you". A good hundred years later, the founder of modern Turkish poetry Nazim Hikmet wrote "I love my country" in prison. Writer Kheder Alagha, who fled from Syria to Germany in 2013, feels in exile "like a bird without wings, like Samson without hair". Trauma as a continuation of persecution, flight and living on in a foreign country is shared by all the poets and authors whose works will be read on this evening: World literature from the Palestinian Atef Abu Sharif from Gaza to the Jewish Austrian Stefan Zweig, from Rose Ausländer from the Habsburg Bukovina to the Ukrainian Julia Solska and many more.
