Liebe Österreicherinnen und Österreicher,

wir laden euch herzlich ein, am internationalen Projekt “Von Herzen zu Herzen: Du bist nicht allein!” teilzunehmen.

Warum solltet ihr mitmachen? Weil es wichtig ist, der Welt das Bild der modernen Österreicherinnen und Österreicher zu zeigen, die zu Beginn des Krieges ukrainische Frauen und Kinder aufnahmen, damals helfend zur Seite standen und auch jetzt weiterhin helfen.

Unsere Idee ist es, der Welt zu erzählen, warum die Österreicherinnen und Österreicher so schnell geholfen haben, was sie motivierte und welche Art von Hilfe sie leisteten.

Von euch erwarten wir eine Geschichte. Schreibt, warum ihr euch entschieden habt, den Ukrainern zu helfen. Was wusstet ihr über die Ukraine vor dem Krieg und was wisst ihr in diesem Moment? Wie seht ihr das Gesicht einer ukrainischen Frau nach Kriegsbeginn und welche Hilfe habt ihr geleistet?

Jede Österreicherin und jeder Österreicher kann so offen sein, wie sie oder er möchte. Ihr könnt persönliche Daten angeben oder anonym bleiben.

Die Geschichte muss auf Deutsch und aus dem Herzen kommen. Liebe Österreicherinnen und Österreicher, wir möchten eure Namen in der Geschichte und im Gedächtnis verewigen.

Ein Buch ist das beste Gedächtnisarchiv, daher wird auf Grundlage der Ergebnisse des Projekts ein Buch veröffentlicht, das wir der ganzen Welt präsentieren.

Sendet eure Geschichten bitte an die Adresse des Forschungszentrums: forscherzentrum@gmail.com, bis zum 10.–15. Mai 2024.

On May 19, the General Assembly of Ukrainian researchers was held in Austria. Most famous scientists of Ukraine were present at the meeting both online and offline. At the meeting of the Assembly, scientists discussed current and prospective projects. We unite to take important initiatives together.

Dear Ukrainian women!
We invite you to participate in the International project “Von Herzen zu Herzen: du bist nicht allein!” (“Heart to Heart: You Are Not Alone”)
Why should you do this?
Because it is important to show the world the image of modern Austrians who sheltered Ukrainian women and children at the beginning of the war, lent a helping hand then and continue to help now.
Our idea is to tell the world why the Austrians rushed to help, what was the motivation, what was their help.
From you – the story of the Austrians who sheltered and protected you.
Ask your Austrian girlfriends and friends with the following questions: Why did you decide to help Ukrainians? What did you know about Ukraine before the war and what do you know at this moment, how do you see the face of a Ukrainian woman after the start of the war, what help did you provide?
Every Austrian can be as open as he wants, he can indicate personal data, or he can remain incognito.
Ask the Austrians to write a story in German and from the heart.
Let’s be active and thank Austria and the Austrian people for their incredible support, let’s leave their names in history and memory.
The book is the best memory archive, so a book will be published based on the results of the project. We present it to the whole world.
Send stories to the Center’s address: forscherzentrum@gmail.com. until June 15, 2023.
Center of Ukrainian researchers in Austria.

The Center of Ukrainian Researchers presents a new book to the world, which is available on Amazon. com. The book presents the results of the project dedicated to the war in Ukraine. The book contains many historical facts, events, and figures. We sincerely thank the Center’s team for their deep scientific work. The presentation of the book will take place in May-June 2023

The directors of the Center of Ukrainian Researchers had a constructive meeting with the politicians of the Parliament of Austria, in particular with the representative of the political force – the Green Party – Ewa Ernst-Dziedzic.
