Listen to this fascinating interview with CENES Professor Emerita Markéta Goetz-Stankiewicz on Radio Prague, talking about her life growing up Czech, German and Jewish during World War II and how it influenced her career as an academic at UBC, working with underground networks to translate and promote modern Czech literature in Canada during the post-war communist era.
Markéta Goetz-Stankiewicz is the recipient of this year’s George Theiner Prize, which honours people who have helped to promote Czech literature abroad.
