Four years after Putin’s armies invaded Ukraine, Dutch authors come together for this fundraising event in the Parkzaal at Musis to share their moving experiences near the front line and explain why the outcome of this war is crucial to our freedom and that of our children.
Jaap Scholten, Tommy Wieringa, Caroline de Gruyter and Mart de Kruif take the audience through a story that has drawn sell-out crowds across the Netherlands and Belgium. For more than three and a half years, they and other volunteers have regularly delivered protective equipment to Ukraine. From Kyiv and other cities, these supplies go straight to the front, where Ukrainian Cossacks fight day and night with extraordinary courage against Russia’s brutal war machine.
Ukraine wants freedom, democracy and a place in the free world—just as so many people in Arnhem and elsewhere in the Netherlands did during the Second World War. The cost, as it was then in Arnhem, Nijmegen and the surrounding area, is immense: lives lost and communities devastated. Giving up is not an option. This struggle for freedom must be won. That is the message at the heart of this fundraising event on Monday 23 February at Musis & Stadstheater Arnhem.
