Object Day Regensburg: Maryna and Borys Shleimovych

“Show us your story!” – Beginning in 2017, the Jewish participants in the Object Days project have answered this invitation by recounting their migration stories.

I am a book typesetter and my wife Maryna is an editor. We worked together at Kontinent-Prim Press in Vinnitsa. The publishing house doesn’t exist anymore. This book is one of the first, if not the first one, that we did and is titled Ticket to Vinnitsa. It was written by a fellow Ukrainian, Naum Tsypis [1935–2014], who then also emigrated to Germany and lived in Bremen. In this book, he writes about his childhood, coming of age, and his friends, and describes our hometown. We brought the book to Germany to read when we wanted to remember the past. It was signed by everyone involved in making the book.
