Veteran Voices — literary reading at Iowa City’s “The Mill”
I read at the Mill alongside four other veterans.
I read the essays “Narrative and Memory at War” and “Something Worth Fighting For.” It was a great event all around. I had planned to record myself, but forgot.
The Daily Iowan published a review of the reading:
“My cynicism also shows in this one. So… sorry, believers,” he said before he began reading his second piece.
But even Skaskiw, a graduate of the Writers’ Workshop in 2007, agreed that Monday’s event was effective.
“Wars are important events regardless of what you think about them,” he said.
Finding the Birthplace of Ludwig von Mises
by Mykola Bunyk and Roman Skaskiw
The problem of determining the house in which the famous economist and liberal thinker was born acquired urgency several months ago with an initiative by Ukraine’s small Austrolibertarian community to unveil a memorial plaque this September for the 130th anniversary of Ludwig von Mises’s birth.
The initial relevant information about the Mises family concerned Ludwig’s great-grandfather Ludwig Mayer Rachmiel Mises. According to the website of the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe in Lviv, Ludwig’s great grandfather Mayer Rachmiel owned buildings on Market Square 18 and Old Jewish Street 7 (Rynok Square 18 and Starojevreis’ka 7), two prominent addresses in the center of Lviv connected by a courtyard.
