Under the cover of this book, readers interested in the cultural diversity of Ukraine will find one and a half dozen biographical essays, investigations and publications of documentary materials on iconic figures of cultural and social life of Lviv and Galicia in the twentieth century. This is a collection of texts that appeared in the new millennium and are an attempt to restore a good memory of outstanding, bright personalities who did not voluntarily and undeservedly "fall out" of the collective consciousness of the modern Ukrainian nation.
Writers, passionate public figures and figures of the region crippled by the two world wars, they either died from Stalin's (Antin Krushelnytsky, 1878-1937) and Hitler's (Runa Reitman, 1890-1942; Bruno Schultz, 1892-1942; Galina Gurskaya, 1898-1982) 1942) genocide, whether they suffered the loss of a small homeland, suffered from persecution by censors for decades, were forced to live abroad or even emigrate to escape communist totalitarianism and xenophobia (Stanislav Vincenz 1888–1971; Ida Kaminska; 1899; , 1909–1966; Zbigniew Herbert, 1924–1998). Their footprints have fallen into the sand of oblivion, and the brilliant creative work has been in special storage for half a century, and is only now returning to us in a completely changed cultural reality. The "manifestation" of this local, but at the same time very universal heritage inevitably transforms the image of the past and our ideas of our own identity.
